How to Make Meatloaf for Two in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I have always loved meatloaf, and this Crock Pot Meatloaf for Two recipe is adapted from one of my favorite meatloaf recipes. It comes together in 10 minutes or less and tastes amazing. We loved having it ready when we came in from sledding.
When I made this recipe, I used a lean ground beef. Since I do not have a rack that fits in my smaller slow cookers, using a lean ground beef kept it from being too greasy. I am also happy to report that the meatloaf was moist and flavorful.
I tried this recipe in both my 2 Quart Slow Cooker and the 2.5 Quart Small Casserole Crock Pot. I have noticed that my small casserole crock pot cooks cooler than any of my other small slow cookers. So, when cooking this recipe, my small casserole crock pot took closer to 5 hours, and my 2 Quart Crock Pot was done closer to 4 hours. Make sure you watch your slow cooker closely the first time you make it so that you can know exactly how your unit cooks this recipe.
(If you think this recipe sounds delicious, but you need more servings, I have you covered. You can find the original recipe with more servings here.)
