MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CROCKPOT MEATLOAF
I can't take credit for this recipe. It came from one of my Taste of Home magazine years ago. I can say that it is truly the easiest and best meatloaf EVER! The texture is perfect for sandwiches the next day, and the sauce adds a slight sweetness you don't get from the typical plain ketchup on the top. My picky daughter loves it, which says a LOT She hates finding chunks of onions or peppers in meatloaf and this recipe solves that beautifully. Oh, and it doubles wonderfully if you have a larger crockpot. Use tin foil strips to aid in removal. ENJOY!!

Tips:
- Choose the right type of ground beef. For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. Alternatively, you can also go with the traditional 80/20 blend.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add some moisture to the meatloaf mixture. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, or even tomato sauce to the mixture.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well. Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the meatloaf on low heat. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Crockpot meatloaf is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. By following a few simple tips, you can make sure that your crockpot meatloaf turns out perfect every time.
