Salsa Meat Loaf

Aluminum foil strips
Vegetable cooking spray
2 lbs ground round ( I use ground turkey)
3 slices light bread, crumbled ( 1 cup)
1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup thick and chunky salsa

Coat 3-1/2 quart slow cooker (mine is a 5 qt) with cooking spray. Tear off two lengths of aluminum foil long enough to fit in bottom of cooker and extend 3 inches over each side of cooker. Fold each foil strip lengthwise to form 2-inch-wide strips. Arrange foil strips in a cross fashion in cooker, pressing strips in bottom of cooker and extending ends over sides of cooker. Combine beef and next 5 ingredients, shape mixture into a loaf the shape of the slow cooker container. Place loaf in slow cooker over foil strips. (Foil strips become "handles" to remove meat loaf from slow cooker.) Make a shallow indention on top of meat loaf. Combine ketchup and salsa (chili sauce), pour over meat loaf. Cover and cook on low heat 8 hours or on high heat 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Use foil strips to lift meat loaf from cooker. Let meat loaf stand 10 minutes before serving.

BBQ Beef for a Crowd

2 Bottom Round Roasts
2 Bottles your favorite BBQ Sauce (I mix Honey BBQ w/Smoked BBQ)
1/2 c water
salt/pepper to taste

I use a big oval crockpot for this recipe. Place two roasts in crockpot. I sometimes cut each in half so they will fit better. Pour in 1/2 cup water, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low all day 6-8 hours or until meat falls apart. Drain out most of the juice, leave a little but try to get the fat out unless you take most of it off prior to cooking. Pour in two bottles of BBQ sauce, stir and let heat through. Serve on warmed buns.
