What could be more comforting to come home to than moist and tender homemade meat loaf? "This one retains its shape in the slow cooker and slices beautifully," reports Marna Heitz from Farley, Iowa. "Because potatoes and carrots cook along with it, the entire dinner is ready at the same time."

This was excellent!! Very moist....I used ground turkey as we're not beef eaters. I added chunks of onion, carrots and celery - no potatoes. It was great to have everything in one pot. Will definitely make again :-)

I start this recipe at home, put the crockpot in the sink in our motorhome, turn on the generator and have a complete meal done when we get where we are going, plus it smells so good.

I halve the recipe for my small (1 quart) slow cooker, and usually don't include the veggies. The meatloaf is tasty and holds up nicely to the long cooking time.
