I was out of vanilla and so used almond extract - what a yummy, rich flavor! Perfect consistency.

Wow, I was really impressed! We all loved this. Working evenings, I am now forced to feed my family via the slow cooker, and I have not found much that turns out well, but this recipe is every bit as delicious as a stovetop version. The only thing I changed was substituting crushed tomatoes because I was out of diced, and it worked well. Top Notch! Thank you.

My husband loves meatloaf. After making this last night he told me to stop the decade-long search for the right recipe because I have finally found it! I used bbq sauce instead of ketchup and made my own breadcrumbs (2 slices of bread in the food processor = 1 cup of crumbs). I can't vouch for how greasy this dish would be if cooked the traditional way because I elevate my meatloaf on a rack in the baking pan so the fat drips off. Sometimes drier recipes can tend to be very dry doing this, but this one was not. A note: if you try this method, make sure to use at least 90/10 ground beef, as lower fat varieties will be too dry.
