The Meaty Loaf

Presented is an ultimate main course idea for meat lovers. This recipe has flavors that will take you to a journey of scrumptious and mouth watering meaty bites. Slice out a piece of the meaty loaf onto the serving plates and that will leave you too sated to ask for more. I serve it normally with mashed potatoes but you may serve it over egg noodles to enhance flavors of your effort. Contrary to the crusty baked ones, this slow cooker version is more tender, moist and definitely a successful try.
