A family favorite—meat loaf—cooks
all day and provides leftovers for sandwiches tomorrow. Serve
with buttered broccoli spears and mashed potatoes.
Glazed
Pork Loaf
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground
pork
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- In large bowl, blend together
all ingredients well. Form into a 7x4 1/2x2-inch loaf; place
in cooker. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 8
to 10 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted reads 160°F
(70°C).
- Carefully remove pork
loaf from cooker (see following tip); let cool 10 minutes before
slicing to serve.
Serves 6.
Tip: To ease removal of
the pork loaf from the slow cooker, fold two 24-inch-long pieces
of aluminum foil in half lengthwise, then in half lengthwise
again. Place strips across each other, forming a cross in the
bottom of a 3 1/2 or 4-quart slow cooker. Press strips against
the inside of the slow cooker, letting ends hang over the outside.
