Crockpot Classic Meatloaf

Classic flavored meatloaf made simply in a Crockpot (slow cooker)

It is no secret around here that I am a big fan of meatloaf recipes. My husband even chose that as our entree to serve at our wedding and it was amazing!

While I have been known to get creative with different varieties of meatloaf, there will also be a spot for a classic version on my menu. In fact, this recipe is one of my favorites because I can walk in the door to my meatloaf and whip up some creamy mashed cauliflower for a dinner ready in minutes.

I would also be just fine with microwaving a steamer bag of green beans!
