Slow Cooker Meatloaf

I'm not much of a meatloaf lover, but this Slow Cooker Meatloaf recipe changes my mind every time I make it. It is delicious, and super easy.

1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 slices bread, cubed
2 lbs. hamburger
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cilantro
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
6 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
6 red potatoes, quartered
seasoned salt

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat egg and milk. Add bread cubes. Add green pepper, onion, garlic, black pepper, cilantro and cayenne pepper and mix well. Add hamburger and form into a loaf. Add to slow cooker. Layer carrot chunks around edge of meatloaf. Sprinkle potatoes with seasoned salt, as desired, and lay on top of carrots. Cook for 2 hours on high and then 4 - 5 hours on low.
