Meatloaf may sound to some like a cafeteria meal or at least something from a bygone era, but I love it. Meatloaf is freakin tasty, y’all! Here’s the problem, it usually takes about an hour and a half to make. It makes sense since you’re talking about cooking a mound of meat, but that’s just…

Slow cookers are supposed to make cooking easier, and they do. But some slow cooker recipes require as much prep time as it would take to cook a full meal; they’re sneaky like that.
