Mine didn't come out looking much like a meatloaf but let me tell you it was absolutely fabulous! My husband had 3 plates and he's not a big guy. Picture is of his first ridiculously sized portion. I added about 1/3 cup chopped onion to the meat and next time will only cook 6 hours. We just used a spoon to serve. Couldn't be easier to make. I'm sharing this recipe with friends.

This is such a clever recipe with a great twist to a classic recipe. I love that it has incorporated the ever so popular crockpot. With this dish, a family can still have that down home cooking with an easy crockpot dish.
