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.
