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.

Crockpot Fajitas

Cut up a red pepper, green pepper and an onion in strips and place in the bottom of crockpot. Put a layer of chicken breasts (uncooked) over the veggies, put fajita seasoning on chicken, then put a small can of diced green chiles over the chicken. Then pour chicken broth over all of it - enough to cover the chicken. Turn it on low and let it cook for the day. Then around dinner time, drain off the broth and cut the chicken into strips...
