Slow Cooker Classic Meatloaf from Everyday Good Thinking, the official blog of @hamiltonbeach

We love the flavor combinations of classic meatloaf, but it can be a hassle to put together, especially on a weeknight. And despite how easy it seems, meatloaf tends to dry out when you bake it in the oven.  Believe it or not, the slow cooker is an ideal way to make meatloaf.

This cooking method locks in moisture so dry meatloaf will be a thing of the past. Prepare everything in advance, then place the entire crock in the fridge until morning. When you leave for the day, place the crock in the slow cooker, set the timer and come home later to a perfectly cooked meal.

    I have made slow cooker meatloaf for years. I use 2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs Instead of the crackers and 3/4 cup mike. I also spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and don’t use aluminum foil. It doesn’t stick at all. My family simply refuses to eat meatloaf made in the oven.
