Simple & Hearty Crock Pot Meatloaf

CROCKPOT MEATLOAF
Crockpots were made for the efficient person… or for lazy people like me who try and live a “set it and forget it” life!  This hearty meatloaf is great for a filling meal that no one will complain about.  For this you will need the following:
2 pound of ground meat (I use the low fat kind, you can use turkey if you’re into that)
2 eggs (beaten)
¾ cup milk (I used 2%, worked fine)
3 Slices of wholegrain bread (make into breadcrumbs- great to exert any frustration!)
½ cup chopped white onion (usually ½ an onion)
¼ cup green pepper
1/4 cup chopped green pepper (half of pepper)
¼ cup celery (1 large celery stick should do it)
½ cup ketchup
½ cup ketchup (you'll need this one to put on top once everything in the pot)
2 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper
Prep.
1. Combine meat, eggs, milk, ketchup, vegetables, salt/pepper and bread crumbs
2. Place in crock pot and cover with remaining 1/2 cup ketchup
3. Cook on low heat for 8 hours

Chicken Caesar Sandwich (EASY DINNER)

This is a VERY easy and fast dinner that can be made in minutes!  I like dinners that taste awesome but take little time to make.  These also are great to make for a pot luck picnic.
Since it's a sandwich, feel free to add or subtract any ingredients you don't like. I despise tomatoes (but love pasta sauce and tomato soup...don't judge me) so I leave those out.

Ingredients:

Baguette
Romaine Lettuce
Red Onion
Caesar Dressing
Grilled Chicken (or a cheat- rotisserie chicken from the market) 

Prep:

Spread the Caesar dressing on the bread as you would with Mayo.  Shred the rotisserie chicken and layer that on top.  Add red onion and lettuce and you got yourself a delish sando that took you less then 10 minutes to make!  OR if you got time, grill some chicken that is rubbed with garlic powder, salt and pepper (this actually is the best way to do it, but if you're short on time the rotisserie chicken is the way to go).
