What You’ll Need to Make Slow Cooker Meatloaf:
Ingredients:
- ground beef
- tomato soup
- cream of mushroom soup
- dry onion soup mix
- an egg
How to Make Slow Cooker Meatloaf:
Place meat, eggs, and onion soup mix in a large bowl.
*If you want to be sneaky, you can mix in a quarter cup of ground flax seed with the meat to sneak in Omega 3 and fiber!
Mix those ingredients together until they are combined. Try using your hands to mix – they work perfectly here!
After those ingredients are well-combined, shape the meat mixture into a loaf. Place your loaf in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour a can of cream of mushroom soup over the loaf. I spread mine around a bit with the can so that it is coating the top of the meatloaf.
Pour a can of tomato soup on top of everything!
Cover and cook the meatloaf on the low setting for 8 hours, or on the high setting for 4 hours.
And there you have it! An easy, no-nonsense, made-with-ingredients-you-have-in-your-pantry Slow Cooker Meatloaf! Bon appetit!
Serve with a side of green beans (could even just be canned green beans) and/or mashed potatoes and you are good to go! How’s that for a quick and easy weeknight meal?!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef or turkey
- 1 large egg

- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can condensed tomato soup
- *1/4 cup ground flax seed optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix beef, egg and onion soup mix. Roll into “loaf form” and place in slow-cooker. Cover with condensed cream of mushroom soup. Pour one can condensed tomato soup over the top. Set slow-cooker on low and cook for eight hours or high for four.
This is sooo cute! And that meatloaf recipe looks like it is to die for!
My goodness Christy, if that’s not the most clever and precious idea in all of blog land, I don’t know what is!
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!
As flat Christy builds up the frequent flier miles please send her to the McKee home.
You know me well enough to know we’ll treat her as the honored guest she will be! Marc and Corbett would love to show her their newly decorated “cool” rooms, and their “company manners!”
Plus, we are oh so close to Disney! It’s not fair that flat Christy should not be able to travel to where three-dimensional Christy and her family love so much!
Hope to see you soon! (The invitation is open to either Christy!)
Hugs,
Maralee
Hey Christy, we’d love Flat Christy to come up here to Deerfield, IL and hang out with our family. I’ve been a regular to your blog since this past fall, when I came across it while I was desperately looking new to feed my family for dinner. You see, being from Tennessee, I instantly felt connected to you. I’ve tried many of your recipes and all of them have been well-received by my family. Thanks for helping a busy mom out!
Hey Christie, You would love it in my town. I live in the winter strawberry capital of the world, “Plant City, Florida. Today we started our annual strawberry festival and we have lots of good food and warm weather. Thanks for all of your recipes, Maggie
Hi Flat Christy!!!
My family and I would love for you to come and visit us in Hayden, Alabama. We are about 30min. north of Birmingham. My name is Karin, Chuck is my husband, Joey is our 8yr old son, and Jordan is our 3 yr old son. I am so thankful that a friend told me about your website!! And, I have to admit that my husband is even happier:) I was going through a “I’m tired of cooking” phase because I was soooo tired of cooking the same old “stuff” week after week. That is until I found YOU. I am enjoying cooking again and, I love your recipes. I have looked so many times on the internet for some new recipes however, I only found recipes that I would never cook much less, actually have the ingredients in my cabinet!! Anyway, we would love to do some cooking with flat Christy, have you play with my boys, and enjoy one of our kid picked “fun days”!!!! <3 Karin
After the cold winter you’ve had up your way I think flat Christy needs some time in florida to warm up. There is lots for her to see and do up here. I cook everything from scratch including baked goods. I feed my whole street at one time or another,’cause I love feeding people!I don’t have children at home anymore but it’s good since that would leave more time to be on the go with flat Christy. I have visited your area several times and really enjoyed it.Hope to hear from you!
It looks like flat Christy had a great visit, glad she made it home with a great recipe for meat loaf. Just what I was looking for supper. Thanks for keeping us entertained every day.
