Slow Cooker Salsa Meatloaf Recipe


Slow Cooker Salsa Meatloaf Recipe
Another one from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook (it's on loan from my sister & I have to give it back soon). In this one, the salsa keeps it moist and the oatmeal binds it together. It takes very little time to assemble, so it's perfect f... More

Ingredients
  • 2lbs ground beef, preferably lean
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups thick salsa of your choice, mild or medium
  • 3 T red onion, minced
  • 2 tsp dried marjoram or oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 T olive oil

Directions
  1. Combine the ground beef, egg, oats, and 1 cup of the salsa in a large bowl. Add the onion, marjoram, cumin, salt and pepper.
  2. Using your hands or a large fork, mix gently but thoroughly, being careful not to compact the meat.
  3. Make an aluminum foil "cradle" that will help you easily removce the meatloaf from the slow cooker when it's done: Tear off a sheet of foil about 24 inches long. Place it along the edge of the counter and tear it in half lengthwise. Fold each piece in half lengthwise, then in half again. Place the strips in the cooker in a cross shape, centering them. The edges will hang over the edges of the cooker.
  4. Place the meat mixture on top of the strips and shape into an oval or round loaf (depending on the shape of your slow cooker), by pressing it gently, and evening out the top.
  5. Bend the foil strips toward the meatloaf so they will not prevent the slow cooker's cover from closing properly.
  6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
  7. Turn the cooker to LOW and cook about 6 hours.
  8. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, combine the remaining oil with the remailing half-cup salsa. Bend the foil strips out of the way and pour the mixture over the meatloaf. Re-cover and cook another 30 minutes.
  9. You should be able to easily lift the meatloaf out of the cooker using the foil handles.

This looks great - I will need to dig out my slow cooker again as I haven't used it for a while!

Thanks for posting this.
