Slow Cooker Meatloaf on a Bed of Potatoes
You can lightly mash the potatoes and the sauce is slightly sweet, making it very kid friendly. Use two large spatulas to lift the meatloaf onto a cutting board to slice it. Add a side salad or steamed green beans to complete the meal. This meatloaf also works well for sandwiches the next day.
