This meatloaf was a little dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some extra ketchup or Worcestershire sauce.

This meatloaf was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the salt next time, or maybe use a low-sodium ketchup.

I was skeptical about cooking meatloaf in a slow cooker, but I'm so glad I tried it. This recipe is amazing! The meatloaf was so tender and juicy, and the flavors were spot-on. I'll never make meatloaf in the oven again.
