I am interested in this - as my mom (and me as her proxy cook) always made good meatloaf. We have tried many times and it isn't good. Of course my husband insists on buying ground chuck, we weren't that picky, we always bought hamburger. I remember hamburger, some oatmeal, seasonings, egg and tomato sauce on top. Couldn't remember how long we baked it. Now I think I will try again with plain ground hamburger and bread crumbs. Crock pot may help.
