Hi all..Can I make this into a meatloaf using just these ingredients, or would I have to add an egg? Also I have a lot of trouble with your site freezing?

Oh no, I see the egg is already added..sorry..Can I still make it into a meatloaf and pour the sauce on top? Thank you....We love anything pineapple...

Hello there! Yes, you can turn meatballs into meatloaf. We recommend adding another 1/2 pound of ground beef to recipe. Hope this helps!

Caan i do this in a slow cooker???

Hi there! Yes, you can. Cook it 5 to 6 hours on low, or until no longer pink in center. Enjoy!
