My addiction with Pinterest continues!

Raise your hand if you're addicted too!

One of my goals for 2012 is to try new recipes.

Yesterday I made Crock Pot Meatloaf
 for our dinner.

Ingredients 

2 lbs. ground round

1 c. ketchup, divided

1 1/2 oz. package meat loaf seasoning

3/4 c. fine, dry bread crumbs (store-bought)

2 eggs, large

1 c. (4 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

2 tsp. prepared mustard

1. Combine beef, 1/2 cup ketchup, and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; shape mixture in a 5-inch by 7-1/2-inch loaf. Place loaf in a lightly greased 3-quart oval crock pot.

2. Cover. Cook on High for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low, and cook 3 hours.

3. Remove crock from cooker, and carefully pour grease off meat loaf; return crock to cooker.

4. Stir together remaining 1/2 cup ketchup and the mustard in a small bowl; spread over meat loaf.

5. Cover. Continue to cook on Low for 45 more minutes or until thermometer inserted into meat loaf registers 160 degrees.

6. Remove meat loaf from crock pot, and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

I made a few substitutions and changes to the recipe

 using what I had on hand.

Lipton onion soup mix instead of meatloaf seasoning

oatmeal instead of bread crumbs

            also added a little flax

        Colby & Monterrey Jack instead of cheddar

I made two small loaves instead of one large.

Now for the review . . .

Delicious!  

Thanks for the inspiration, Pinterest!
