Simple Slow Cooker Meatloaf

No Comments | Undedr: Beef, Slow Cooker

Recipe: Simple Slow Cooker Meatloaf

Ingredients

1 pound Bob Evans® Original Recipe Sausage Roll
1 pound ground beef
1 cup ketchup, divided
1 (1.25 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 eggs

Instructions

In large bowl, combine sausage, beef, 1/2 cup ketchup, soup mix, bread crumbs and eggs. When well combined, shape into loaf to fit your slow cooker (round or oval). Place into slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low heat 4-6 hours. Spread remaining 1/2 cup ketchup on top of meatloaf 30 minutes before serving. Cover and continue cooking on low heat for 30 minutes.

Quick Notes

I’ve found that 1/1 ratio on beef to sausage can be a bit strong, so I’ve adjusted it to 1.5 beef/.5 sausage. I’ve also added my own seasonings and fresh onions and it still comes out just as good. I’ve even used bbq sauce in place of the ketchup as well. You can use beef, turkey, chicken, pork, veal. The options are really quite limitless.

Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

No Comments | Undedr: Casseroles, Leftovers

Recipe: Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Ingredients

3 c. noodles, cooked and drained
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3/4 c. milk
1 c. chicken, shredded or cut into bite size pieces
1 bag frozen broccoli

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease or spray with Pam a 2 quart casserole dish.
Steam broccoli per directions
Mix all ingredients and place in casserole.
Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Quick Notes

One of the things that I love about it is the versatility and the ability to substitute to taste. If you don’t like chicken, you can make it with the traditional tuna. You can use turkey, ham or pretty much any kind of meat you have. You can use leftovers from the day before, even. I roasted a whole chicken for soup, only used a small amount in the soup, so we cut the rest up and stored it for other dishes.

If you don’t like broccoli, you can leave it out or you can use peas, cauliflower, or pretty much any other vegetable in it that you like. I’ve seen people use green pepper in theirs.

If you don’t like cream of mushroom soup, you can use cream of celery, cream of chicken, or even cheddar soup. You can substitute with any variation of cream sauce you wish.

This is a great comfort food meal, great for a cold winter day.
