SMOTHERED MEATLOAF

Smothered Meatloaf image

This meatloaf has the best smell when being put together. While this wasn't my families favorite as yes it lacked flavor we loved how moist it was. I plann to try to add more flavor to this recipe. When I made this meatloaf I made it in a 6 quart crockpot which was just fine. I could only find and used a 28oz bag of potatoes. I also could only fine ranch and herb shake in bake. I got this recipe from Food Network. It's a Sandra Lee recipe.
