As hot as the temp. has been around here I do not want to heat up my kitchen unless I just have to so!
I was wondering if anyone might have a recipe for a meatloaf that can be cooked in a slow cooker!?
That way I will not have to heat up my kitchen in this 100 degree weather!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know this isn't really what you asked but a decent size toaster oven in an excellent investment!. I have had one for years and it is great in the summer for baking or even heating up things, altho the microwave does that!. I use mine almost exclusively for cooking and hardly even use the oven in my regular stove any more!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
