Sheryl...I just experimented about a month ago with making a LARGE meatloaf in my Mom's crockpot. I was recovering from breast biopsy surgery and didn't feel like doing too much so I said "Let's try this!" It was about 2 and 1-2 pounds. I make my standard mix with plenty of garlic, 2 eggs, bread crumbs to bind, ketchup, Italian seasoning and soy sauce dribbled into "tracks" I make on the surface. It came out great after about 1 1-2 hours on high power. Was hoping for crust, but no crust. It was moist and flavorful. Used the juice in the crock pot to mix with some gravy mix ( I was at Mom's and she uses that stuff) doctored with herbs and white vermouth. We must have good taste in veggies. I also did sugar snap peas, sauteeing them with lemon zest and garlic, and a rather ancient zucchini she had. And mashed potatoes as well. Meatloaf....it's so damn good...even in my crockpot. And I think your crust was the result of a small amount of beef, and longer cooking time. I was afraid to dry it out. I guess I could go longer next time cooking it.
