Meatloaf

Tonight my family is having a favorite meal, Meatloaf. This comfort food is tasty and inexpensive family meal. I am cooking it in the slow cooker because I have plans this evening during my normal dinner prep time. It also allows for flexibility and creativity. Today instead of mustard I used Buffalo Ranch Salad Dressing. And in place of the shredded cheese, I mixed cream cheese into the meat.
