Dawn’s Homemade Crockpot Meatloaf

Ingredients

3 ½ lbs ground beef

1 lb ground pork

1 cup Italian bread crumbs

1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese

¼ cup ketchup

1 egg

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 - 8 oz can tomato sauce

Aluminum Foil (optional)

Directions

Dump all ingredients except tomato sauce into large bowl. Mix ingredients

 thoroughly. {Optional – I couldn't find my rack that goes inside my crock. So I

 wadded up aluminum foil into balls and placed them into my crock. I then 

pressed them down so they were flattened into disc shapes so the meatloaf

 would sit better. I also made an aluminum strip to place under my meatloaf to

 make getting it out of the crock easier. Just pull a piece of aluminum long

 enough to fit down both sides and across the widest length of your crockpot.

 Then fold it up so that it is around 1 – 2 inches wide. I placed the strip in the 

crock on top of the foil balls.} Form meat mixture into a loaf. Place loaf into

 crock pot. Pour tomato sauce over the top of the meat loaf. Cover and cook on

 Low for 6 hours
