Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef, pork, veal, or turkey
2 yellow onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 cup finely diced bread
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ketchup

Directions

1

Line the slow cooker with two sheets of aluminum foil for easy removal of the meatloaf.
2

In a large bowl, combine the beef, onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, eggs, and bread and season with salt and pepper.
3

Mix well with your hands and shape into an oblong loaf (or if you are using a round slow cooker, into a round loaf).
4

Place the loaf into the slow cooker and pour the ketchup evenly over the top.
5

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 165F and the meat is browned.
6

Lift the meatloaf from the cooker by gently grasping the aluminum foil and pulling it out.
7

Let it rest for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
