Step 1

Slice one onion and line the bottom of the crock pot (this raises the meatloaf off the bottom and prevents burning).

Step 2

Add the ground meat and bread crumbs to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Chop the vegetables (onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic) and add to the mixing bowl with the meat and breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Keep kneeding the mixture until it is well mixed and place mixture onto a chopping board to create your ‘loaf’ shape.

Step 5

Keep patting the loaf and moulding it until no cracks are on the surface of the loaf.

Step 6

Carefully place the loaf on top of the onions in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

Step 7

Coat the meatloaf with preferred sauce and cook a further 40-60 minutes.
