Growing up I loved when my Mom would make meatloaf for dinner. It was my favorite dinner and I would happily do every chore needed if it meant dinner happened sooner. Now I think about the time it took and love that there is an easier way. This crockpot meatloaf recipe is the perfect way to make a great meal and not have to stress over when it will be done.
Set the meatloaf up ahead of time and dinner is ready when you get home. So easy and the family will love it.
Can I confess something random and funny. I had to google if meatloaf was one word or two. For some reason, I kept picturing that it was Meat Loaf instead of Meatloaf. But come to find out Meat Loaf is an 80s singer, not a great dinner recipe.
I am pretty sure you didn’t think we would be talking about the 80s singer Meat Loaf along with this slow cooker meatloaf recipe….who knew there were so many forms of meatloaf. LOL!
