I've recently started hoisting my meat up also while in the oven, but haven't tried it yet with meatloaf! We love the grill marks that appear on the meat while the grease falls to the pan underneath. Great idea for the crockpot! Thank you! I'll be trying that next!
I'll share my recipe too! It's different from anything I've read here so far. We love Italian food so my version is little individual Italian meat loaves that are placed in a 9" pie plate and are oval shaped placed in the dish that resembles a wheel with one in the middle and spokes around it. The centers are sunken and a well is made for the top sauce that is sprinkled with Italian seasonings and then topped off with parsley. It's so pretty when placing it in the oven!!
I love the idea that they are small and handles easily and they are done quickly because of being small. Two loaves per plate!
