Notes

Use an 80/20 blend of ground beef for best results. Going too lean results in a dry loaf.
Be gentle when mixing the meat mixture so it won't turn out too tough.
Dry spices make this recipe super easy, but you can use an onion and garlic cloves if you want.
Total cooking times will vary with different slow cookers. Mine cooks fast and the meatloaf was done a little before 3 hours on high.
