Turkey Meatloaf

I tried making a meatloaf in the crock last year and it turned out terrible... So I decided to give it another go! It was finally a success! :)

Ingredients:
2 lb Ground Turkey
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Milk
3/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1 pk Dry Onion Soup
Begin by lining your slow cooker with foil to help with removing the meatloaf when it is finished.
Next mix together the eggs, milk, breadcrumbs and onion soup.
Add in the turkey and mix it all together while forming it into a meatloaf.  Then place it on the foil so that it does not touch the edges of the slow cooker.
I cooked this on low for six hours.  It was a little scary when I first saw it but don't let that deter you from trying it.
Then I took it out and pulled the foil out from under it.
I cut it into eight slices and served it with red skin potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.  It was a great dinner and it was so easy to make!

Taco Soup

I love tacos and I had never heard of Taco Soup before so I decided to try it.  It was delicious!

Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Chicken (Beef or Turkey would work too)
1 pk Taco Seasoning
1 pk Ranch Dressing Mix
1 qt Stewed Tomatoes
1 3oz can of Green Chilies
1 can Corn
1 can Black Beans
1 5oz can Black Olives
1 Onion
1 cup Tomato Juice
First I broke up the chicken and mixed it together with the taco and ranch mixes.
I forgot to add the stewed tomatoes to the ingredient picture.
Now all you have to do is stir in the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker.  Do not drain the corn or the beans.
I cooked this on low for six hours.
The house smelled amazing when I got home from work.  I would definitely try this recipe again!  I was afraid the chilies would make it really spicy but they didn't at all.
I broke the bread up into mine but I don't like when soup is super liquidy.
