Slow Cooker Meatloaf

Slow-Cooked Meatloaf is a dish that belongs to American cuisine, particularly a staple in comfort food traditions.
Meatloaf is typically made from ground beef (or a mixture of beef and other meats like pork or turkey) combined with breadcrumbs, eggs, seasonings, and sometimes vegetables, then formed into a loaf shape and cooked slowly.
The slow cooking method helps the meatloaf remain tender and moist.
