CLASSIC SLOW-COOKER MEATLOAF
Our favorite meatloaf recipe does great in the slow cooker. Made with familiar flavorings that have stood the test of time, this meatloaf is as classic as it gets. And it's about as easy as it gets, too-just toss together the ingredients, set your loaf in a foil-lined slow cooker and forget it! Your meal will be ready in 3 to 4 hours, and you don't need to be stuck in the kitchen in the meantime. And lucky you if there are leftovers-we love using this for meatloaf sandwiches the next day!

Tips:
- Use a flavorful ground beef blend. A combination of 80% lean ground beef and 20% ground pork or ground veal adds richness and moisture to the meatloaf.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf mixture. This can be done with eggs, milk, bread crumbs, or grated vegetables. Moisture helps to keep the meatloaf from drying out.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices to taste.
- Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf. Place the meatloaf mixture in a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Make sure the meatloaf is evenly shaped so that it cooks evenly.
- Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the meatloaf is cooked through.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices from running out when you slice it.
