Crockpot (or Oven) Meatloaf

The meatloaf recipe comes from BH&G. The crockpot idea comes from Fix-It and Forget-It Recipes for Entertaining. Realistically, you could use just about any meatloaf recipe.

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup milk

2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or 2 cups soft bread crumbs

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried sage, basil, or oregano

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

BBQ (or mixture of 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 teaspoon dry mustard)

4-6 potatoes, peeled and cubed

In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk; stir in bread crumbs, onion, parsley, salt, sage, and pepper. Add ground meat; mix well.

Oven instructions: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread meat mixture into greased casserole dish (8x8 works well). Cook for 20 minutes. Then spread BBQ sauce over the top and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

Crockpot instructions: Spray crockpot and put cubed potatoes along the bottom. Pat the meatloaf mixture on top of the potatoes. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Spread BBQ sauce on top of the meatloaf for the last hour of cooking.
