Ever since man first tamed fire, slow
cooking was discovered as a way to
soften up and tenderize those tough
slabs of meat and fibrous rooty
vegetables.
Slow cooking these chewy cuts broke
down the collagen in the meat and
turned it into a gelatinous broth. As
the fibers of the meat separated and
shrunk during slow cooking, the juices
would moisten the meat and turn even
the toughest cuts into a mouth
watering meal.
In the
early 1960s, West Bend
developed an electric bean cooker
called the Bean Pot. This early electric
slow cooker resembled a tradition
crockery bean pot which rested on a
warming tray.
The Naxon Utilities Corp of Chicago
developed a version of a bean cooker,
called the Beanery. This primitive slow
cooker was a self contained unit and
the precursor of the modern slow
cooker. In 1970, the Rival Company
acquired the assets of the Naxon
Utilities Corp and the rights to the
Beanery. Rival refined the looks of the
Beanery, and in 1971, introduced the
Rival Crock-pot slow cooker.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Taken from E-How Website
1 1/2 to 2 lbs Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
1 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 Egg, (slightly beaten)
1/2 tsp dried Parsley Flakes
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp dried Oregano
1 tsp Paprika
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1- 8 oz. can Tomato Sauce
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese(grated)
Cooking Spray
Oblong Crock Pot or Round Crock Pot with round
non-stick Baking Pan.
Spatula and Spoon
Spray the inside of the loaf pan with cooking spray.
Mince garlic, chop parsley, grate cheese, and
slightly beat the egg with a fork.
In a medium/large bowl, mix prepared ingredients
with ground beef by using your hands or a large
fork. *Note, add 1/2 of the can of tomato sauce to
the meat mixture with other ingredients and mix
just until incorporated. Place the meatloaf into the
loaf pan and form around sides to fit the pan. Add
remaining tomato sauce to the top of the meatloaf,
then add cheese and top with the parsley.
Place the loaf pan into the Crock Pot, it will be
slightly raised from the bottom, that is how it
should be as long as you can fit the lid in place
securely without letting the heat escape.
Set on HIGH and cook for about 3 hrs. and 20
min. Crock Pot temperatures will vary, check
meatloaf at 2 1/2 hrs. Cheese should be melted
and juices will be clear if meatloaf is done. Mine
took the whole time and was very moist.
When juices are present around the meatloaf, use
a Turkey baster to remove the excess grease from
the pan and again when the meatloaf is done. Let
the meatloaf set for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
