Recipe Tips
- If you prefer a runnier sauce, then simply place some foil over the top of the meatloaf for the first thirty minutes. Once the thirty minutes are up, remove the foil and allow it to thicken slightly.
- I also like to make meatloaf in the slow cooker when I know I am going to be very time-limited. You can cook some extra vegetables in the slow cooker, so you will have a one-pot meal.
- One thing you can do if you like a sweeter sauce is to add more brown sugar to the recipe.
- If you have the time, I recommend adding some onion and garlic to this easy meatloaf recipe. Personally, I would add one diced onion and two teaspoons of crushed garlic. I would also pan-fry these slightly before adding it to the ground beef mix.
