Crock Pot Chipotle Meatloaf image

This is a recipe I came up with the other evening to satisfy my craving for comfort food. I needed a one-dish meal, as my crock-pot is the only cooking apparatus I have left after kitchen fire. Great for getting your veggies without extra work or dishes (I love to use spinach and mushrooms whenever I can!). Makes fantastic sandwiches next day (also makes yummy meatballs!)

Time P5DT15m

Yield 2 loaves, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs ground meat (I use 1 lb beef, 1 lb turkey)
2 -3 tablespoons italian seasoning
1 onion, grated (with juice)
1/4 cup carrot, grated
2 fresh garlic cloves, pressed
1/3 cup portabella mushroom, minced
2/3 cup frozen spinach
2 eggs
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (Asian hot chile sauce)
1 cup cracker, crushed (I use Cheez-its and Triscuits)
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup cheese, shredded (I use Sargento's Shredded Chipotle, yum!)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 chipotle pepper, pulverized

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Be careful not to overwork, otherwise your loaf will be tough (hint for any meatloaf!).
  • In another bowl, beat eggs with ketchup, sour cream and sriracha sauce. Add to meat mixture.
  • Stir in cracker/breadcrumbs and cheese until just mixed inches.
  • Shape into two loaves, place in crock pot.
  • Mix tomato sauce and chipotle pepper, spread on top of loaf.
  • Cook on med-low for 5 hours or until done.
  • If desired, sprinkle some shredded Chipotle cheese on top of loaf about 10 mins before serving. You can also make a gravy out of the "juice" that results in bottom of pan by adding some beef broth and thickening with cornstarch.
