Fantastic way to make meatloaf! Excellent recipe.

Have made this several times, super easy way to make meatloaf. I suggest using a tin foil "sling" to make it easier to lift it out of the crockpot. Fold foil into 2 strips, and crisscross in the pot before adding the meat.

This has become my husband's favorite meatloaf. Even better than his mom's! :) Instead of dehydrated onions and sage I use a packet of onion soup mix. So good!

This is my second try at this recipe; for my husband and me it's ok but it is one my children will eat therefore, this becomes a staple until they leave home and we can go back to ones we prefer. I'm also trying different fat levels of hamburger since too much grease makes me very sick...I was nervous about cooking this in the crock pot but so far so good.....

We always make extra sauce for leftovers. The flavor is perfect!

I usually make meatloaf up as I go, but put this in my box as a place markers for meal planning.

My family LOVED it. I've never put sage in it and the topping was really good.

Will definitely make this again.

I will never make meatloaf in the oven again! This was so moist and flavorful and the sauce complimented it nicely.
