On Tuesdays, my daughter has ballet at 6. That’s usually the time I’m in the kitchen prepping for dinner. We don’t get home until 7:30, so I like for supper to be ready when we get home. Putting a meal in the crockpot around lunch is my answer for Tuesday dinners! Below is a new recipe I found for crockpot meatloaf! I’ve never been a big meatloaf fan, but this is good!
A slow cooker recipe for yummy, flavorful meatloaf made delicious with the addition of sun-dried tomatoesr!

Oh, so yummy, the sun-dried tomatoes added so much flavour! I even had leftovers for lunch the next day that were just as good!
I love meatloaf even better the second day!
