Pro Tips:
For Extra Moisture: Add a grated zucchini or carrot to the meat mixture for added moisture and a subtle sweetness.
Make Ahead: Prepare the meatloaf mixture the night before and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, just shape it and place it in the slow cooker.
Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F for perfectly cooked meatloaf.
