Cook on low 6-8 hrs. Shred chicken in crock pot w/ fork & knife. Add beans and corn. Cook 30 more min.

Meat Loaf by Ashley

I have been married 11 years and have never, I mean never made a good meat loaf. Finally, I think I found one! My Dad and hubby seemed to really like it. I don't even care for meat loaf and I liked it. It is from my friend Lisa's blog.

Place in shallow baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Drain off grease.

This recipe calls for 1 1/2 C buttermilk, so do the same thing with 1/2 Tbs lemon juice and remaining 1/2 C milk. ( I did this and it worked beautifully and I
