- Follow the instructions as listed above until step 6. Then rather than placing it in the crockpot, put a rack in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish, poke holes in the bottom of the foil and set it on top of the rack.
- If you don’t have a rack to put in the dish, that is fine. You just may need to drain some of the grease and / or cooking juices off before serving.
- Bake the meatloaf in the oven at 350°F for 45 - 55 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf reaches 160°F.
