Melt-in-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf
When my husband and I were first married, he refused to eat meat loaf because he said it was bland and dry. Then I prepared this version, and it became his favorite meal. —Suzanne Codner, Starbuck, Minnesota

Texture was good, but it lacked flavor. Only took 4 hours to reach over 160 degrees in crockpot. Will probably make in oven next time and add more spices.
I enjoyed the mild flavor and liked that I could make meatloaf in the summer without turning on the oven. I can't believe I didn't know meatloaf could be prepared this way.
This was the best meatloaf recipe I have ever done. Thank you! Hubby asked for seconds and ate the leftovers without even being prompted! #win-win #awesome
Very good. One thing, I noticed people complained the meatloaf set in grease too long. Here's my solution. I roll up some foil balls about an inch diameter. Place them under the foil sling and poke some holes in the foil. Works like a charm.
It's a keeper
My family loves meatloaf and I'm always looking for new recipe to try. This one is a winner. Since I was short on time, I baked it in the oven instead of using my slow cooker. The only change I made was to use fresh minced onion instead of dried, and since I used 2 lbs of ground beef, I did increase the glaze for the top. I'll definitely try this in my slow cooker next time. Delicious!
Delicious! I did make a few tweaks. I used 1 lb of a meatloaf mix, and 1/2 lb ground turkey (so it was a 4-meat meatloaf!). I used real onion instead of dry, and just eyeballed it (didn't measure). I doubled the sauce, then used 2 tbsp of it in the meat mixture. I put most of the sauce on top before cooking, which gave it a nice glaze. The last little bit of sauce we saved for leftovers (so they wouldn't get too dry in the microwave). I put aluminum foil over a rack inside a baking pan, poking holes in it to allow the grease to seep through. I cooked the meatloaf in the oven, 350deg for about 75 minutes or so (until the thermometer read just a bit over 160). Make sure to let your meatloaf sit so it doesn't fall apart too terribly when you cut into it. This was probably the best meatloaf I've ever made.
Everyone loved it! I used pounds of meat so I added a little more of spices. Also put the bbq sauce in with the meat. I also made it in the oven, 350 for about 1-1/2 hours. Added a little grated carrot for color. Can’t wait to make again!
My husband and I are vegan so I was making this for our college-age boys and their girlfriends and to use up the meat in our freezer. They all absolutely loved it. It sounded like it was better than the meatloaf I used to make using an onion soup mix packet. I made a few changes based on the other reviews here, and the fact that I was using 2 lbs of meat instead of 1 1/2 lbs as indicated in the recipe. My meat is in 1 lb packages and I didn't want a 1/2 lb hanging around my frig. I added a little extra of the seasons to compensate for the extra meat, and added a few turns of my pepper grinder since I love black pepper (even though I wouldn't be eating this. lol!) . Also, 1 review suggested adding the sauce to the meat instead of just on top, to add some flavor. So I made the sauce and put about 2 Tbs of it in the meat before shaping into a loaf. I also put the remaining sauce on top at the beginning of cooking instead of waiting till the end, just to make life easier. So, this got rave reviews and the boys sounded interested in making it themselves next time.
