  • Arrange three 18-inch long strips of aluminum foil, folded double so they criss-cross; place meatloaf in the center and transfer to slow cooker.
  • Cook on low 5 to 6 hours or on high 2 1/2 to 3 hours, covered (instant read thermometer will read 160 degrees F).
  • Carefully use aluminum to lift meatloaf to a cutting board; carefully remove aluminum, sprinkle with cheese, and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Serve with Smoky Tomato Salsa and garnishes, if desired.
