Before we get to the recipe, you are going to need a way to get this out of your slow cooker once it is done. Fold foil into 3 long strips and place in your slow cooker as pictured below. You can then lift the bottom strip by the ends once your meatloaf is done and it will come right out.

Made this for supper tonight – delicious!! Thanks for the recipe, JoAn
going to try this one!
the words say 3 strips of foil, the picture shows and the actual recipe reads as explained above..which explanation?
In the picture that is 3 strips of foil — two going one way and one going the other.
Instead of the foil, would a Reynolds slow cooker liner work?
It should. Just anything so you can lift it out when done.
Does the beef and pork sausage need to be cooked before added to the other ingredients?
No. Everything goes in raw.
