Meatloaf

1. 1

   Line the slow cooker with two sheets of aluminum foil for easy removal of the meatloaf.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the beef, onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, eggs, and bread and season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Mix well with your hands and shape into an oblong loaf (or if you are using a round slow cooker, into a round loaf).

4. 4

   Place the loaf into the slow cooker and pour the ketchup evenly over the top.

5. 5

   Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 165F and the meat is browned.

6. 6

   Lift the meatloaf from the cooker by gently grasping the aluminum foil and pulling it out.

7. 7

   Let it rest for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
