Step 6

Spread the topping mixture evenly over the surface of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW setting for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Once done, carefully remove the meatloaf from the crock pot using two large spatulas or by lifting it out with parchment paper if used.

Step 9

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
