Oh sweet mother of Mary, this recipe deserves 10 stars. I will never, ever make meatloaf in the oven again. Literally, this is perfect.

I was raised growing up with meatloaf as a staple. This is by far the best meatloaf I have ever tasted and sooooo simple! I don't use a slow cooker so I just mixed it all together and baked it. The last 15 minutes I topped it with the ketchup mixture, (I doubled that) and wha-la...the best ever. Thanks for the recipe we will always enyoy this!

Never thought I would find a recipe for meatloaf that I would like as much as mine. This was a great recipe! The only thing that I did differently was add some bell pepper and baked it in the oven because I didn't want to wait to try it. Next time I will try the slow cooker. Thanks for giving me an alternate to use occasionally.

This was unbelievably good considering how easy it was to put together! And the leftovers make super sandwiches. I recommend this to any busy mom - you can never have enough good crockpot recipes! Thank you, Suzanne! * I had my house on the market and heard that a woman was bringing her husband to see it - she was in love with the house and wanted him to love it too. I put this meatloaf in the crockpot and had it cooking when the man came to walk thru. He must have liked the way my house smelled ---the closing was last week! LOL

I dont have a lot of cooking experience and this meatloaf was easy to make, very good, it does literally melt in your mouth. My girlfriend's 4 yr old even liked it and anyone with kids knows how picky 4 yr olds are. I will definately be making this again.

Fantastic! Hands down the BEST meatloaf recipe I have ever made. My husband went back for seconds and then a third helping. Flavorful, moist, and perfect in the slow cooker. You won't be disappointed.

I've never cooked meatloaf in a crock pot and it worked out great. I used dry onion soup mix, left out salt, added garlic powder and a torn soft roll that was on hand rather than bread crumbs. It was done maybe an hour sooner than I expected; however I kept an eye on it through the glass lid. My family likes ketchup with theirs so they liked the addition on the top. It came out plenty moist and held together well. Will make this recipe again - love not using the oven.

This was very, very good. I'm not one to like just plain ketchup poured on top of a meat loaf but with the brown sugar mixed in, it was great. Will definately fix again and again.

Sorry, but I found this recipe too bland. I'm a meatloaf lover but this one missed the mark. It seemed to being missing more than just one thing.

One of the better meat loaf recipes I have found on this site. I wasn't too sure when I mixed it up because it seemed to be a lot of liquid for the amount of meat but it soaked it up just fine. The topping was a very nice touch too. I used up some leftover crushed seasoned croutons for the bread crumbs.

Excellent recipe and so easy. I was afraid it might fall apart in the crock pot or break apart when I tried to take it out, but it turned out beautifully. Everyone in my house loved it.

This is the best meatloaf I have ever had, my kids loved it! It is very moist. I also used garlic salt for the salt and I also added a little red pepper I followed everything else exactly as written. This recipe will definitely go in the weekly rotation.

I thought I rated this but couldnt find my review! This is the best ever! So moist and flavorful. I used garlic salt for the salt to give it extra flavor and I think I followed everything else exactly as written but didn't add as much sugar to the ketchup mixture. And it was sweet and very yummy that way. Thanks for a great recipe, I posted a pic as well.

I've tried so many Meatloaf recipes over the years but never thought that my new favorite would be one made in a Crockpot. Anytime I have meatloaf I have to have Ketchup with it, but not with this one. The only change to the recipe was that I used Ground Pork..( can't stand beef). The Meatloaf was really moist and the sauce was awesome. After dinner the Ketchup bottle went back to the fridge NEVER being used by anyone...that is a first. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe.

All four of my kids (even the picky one) and my husband and me loved this meatloaf. I didn't have dried minced onion so I used a packet of french onion soup mix (I doubled the recipe so used the whole packet). I had no breadcrumbs so I used crushed saltines instead. For the topping I used half the brown sugar and had no worcestshire (bad spelling) sauce so I just omitted it. Shaped into 2 loaves and baked in the oven on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes @ 350 then put the topping on and baked another 30 minutes. Will use again soon!

I wasn't too thrilled with how this came out (not quite like meatloaves of the past)- but I'm pretty sure it was my "modifications", so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt (I don't think it's fair to rate a recipe that I intentionally modified)- and hopefully my mistake will be a future lesson for someone else: I used ground turkey and beef, thought that the turkey would end up too dry so I chopped up some bacon and added it to the mix (because hey - who doesn't like bacon?). I used dry seasoned bread crumbs - I saw another review that mentioned stuffing mix - might give that a go. This was my first slow cooker meatloaf and it cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. I didn't think that it was dry, but my husband thought that it was a touch dry. It reminded me a bit like canned corned beef (again, this is most likely my fault). Can't complain too much though - husband and I both went back for seconds. Will have to try this one another time.
