What might be good with this is, instead of using breadcrumbs, use crunched up tortilla chips.

When I make my meat loafs, I use whatever bread type products I can find, potato chips, fritos, bread, saltines, Ritz, Town House, etc.

(Connie - I am not criticizing your recipe, it is just a thought that came to my mind since it is a taco meatloaf).  Please do not take offense.

Inky's BBQ Beef

3 lbs beef chunked (round steak; beef stew meat or your choice)
2 C. Onion sliced
2 t. salt
2 t. Worstershire
1 t. dry mustard
1/4 C. Vinegar
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1/2 C. Brown Sugar (substitute worked for me)

Put in crockpot on high for 1 hour and turn down to low.  Continue cooking for 7-9 hours.  So tender and you can shred with a fork to serve on buns for the family.

Note:  Can be made with pork or even half pork and half beef.

Here I am, finally.   There are two good things about this recipe.  First, you can substitute any ground meat, to your liking.  I have made it using 1 lb of ground pork and 1 lb of ground turkey, combined.  The very best thing is the preparation tip.

As I said on a previous thread, I rarely follow even the recipes I make.  I try to add or take away, so it never tastes the same twice.  Also, it depends on what is in my fridge and cabinet at the time.

Preparation:

First, use the new crockpot liners they have, it makes cleanup very east.  Next, make foil "handles" to make it easy to remove the final product from the crockpot.  Fold a 20-inch long piece of foil in half lengthwise. Place in bottom of a slow cooker with both ends hanging over top edge of cooker.  I also put two or three pieces of crumpled foil in the bottom (underneath the "handle") to keep the meatloaf out of the fat.



Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground beef (or any mixture of ground meat) 
2 eggs
3 to 4 slices bread, moistened with a little milk or warm water(I also tend to use bread crumbs instead) 
1/4 tsp. dried leaf oregano
1/4 tsp. sweet basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
can of mixed vegetables
dash or more, to taste of Worcestershire sauce 
1 chopped onion
1 tbsp of garlic
1 can of diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup of Heinz 57 steak sauce or more, to taste

Soy sauce
 
Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Brush top of meatloaf with soy sauce. Place in crockpot after shaping loaf well, on a premade handles to keep it out of the drippings. Cook 4 to 5 hours on high, or 8 to 10 hours on low.
