I made this for my DS as a take home meal but got to try a very small piece and I must say it is delicious, I did make some amount adjustments, here are only a few, I added in 2 tablespoons crushed chili flakes (we like lots of heat) and also increased the garlic to 4 cloves, used seasoned salt and lots fresh ground black pepper, I baked it in my oven instead of the slow cooker, thank for posting this great meatloaf recipe Kitty!
