I use an oval crock pot when making this. It just helps maintain the traditional meatloaf shape. I serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.

How To Make homestyle meatloaf

Shape mixture into a 9 x 4" loaf; place in a lightly greased 5 or 6 quart slow cooker.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Reduce heat to LOW, and cook 3 more hours. Remove slow cooker insert, and carefully pour off excess fat. Return insert to cooker.
