The best meatloaf recipe I've ever tried! The combination of ground beef, pork, and veal makes for a really flavorful loaf. And the slow cooking process makes it so tender and juicy.

This meatloaf was a hit with my family! It was so moist and flavorful, and the bacon on top added a nice crispy texture. I cooked it in my slow cooker on low for 8 hours, and it came out perfectly.
