  • Form the mixture into a loaf shape, then place it in the slow cooker, making sure there's plenty of space around the sides for the carrots and potatoes. Pour the beef broth around the loaf.

Notes

  • Make sure not to over-mix! Just mix the meat for 35-45 seconds, until the fat has begun mixing into the protein.
  • If you have a few slices of bread lying around, make your own breadcrumbs using italian seasonings and toasted bread! Homemade breadcrumbs will make your meatloaf even more moist.
  • Don't serve it right away after it's done cooking! Let it rest for about 10 minutes to make sure its absorbed the sauce and juices.
  • Not a fan of potatoes and carrots? Try swapping out the vegetables with any of your favorites, such as onions, squash, rutabaga, or turnips.
