This recipe really is incredibly simple (just how I like it)! All you need is 5 simple ingredients to bring this supper to life, and these are 5 ingredients you probably already have in your home. Add in the fact that this slow cooker meatloaf is made in, well, the slow cooker, and you’ve got a meal that requires practically zero effort!
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

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.
Hi, Christy, from the mountains of Colorado near the Sangre De Cristos (Blood of Christ – they turn pink in the morning) Mountains! We don’t have kiddos in the home although some find their way here. But we have the wildlife and the view from heaven! Jeff & I’d love to host flat Christy and take her sledding and hiking to some of the most gorgeous views I’ve ever seen! Is Flat Christy afraid of heights? Flat Christy might be in danger from the scary deer that mull around, or the bunnies under the deck, or the bobcat that’s stalking the bunnies or the grass volls all around. Also my blue birds might wonder at her. Perhaps we’d take in a sunset. I’m sure the 3-legged cat would be very accommodating. All in all, hope to see you sometime!

ps – that includes the 3D family version as well! 🙂
This looks delish!!! I’m thinking homemade biscuits would be good with this too. Then a nice sandwich the next day if there’s any left. 🙂
You are more than welcome to come visit with our family. You can go to work with me (I volunteer at my church) and then maybe quilt a little also. We’d have fun I’m sure. No telling what we might get into.~grins~
Forgot to tell you I live in Ga and have a 10 year old son and 16 year old daughter. My son is the one who loves to cook. I told my daughter maybe she could hire him when they grew up since he is the one that knows how to cook.
I’m making this meatloaf recipe tomorrow. I already have the meat in my fridge thawing… yum.
I would love Flat Christy to visit my family…
*clears throat*
Dear Flat Christy,
I would like to invite you to my humble abode for a visit. Okay, maybe it’s not “humble” all the time. It can get quite chaotic. I live in the wonderful state of West Virginia. I’ve been married for seven years to my wonderful husband. I have a five (almost six!) year old son who would love to take you on a tour of his world. I also have two cats. One of my cats, Smokie, is an oldie. She’s pretty go-with-the-flow type, so she wouldn’t mind your visit. I also have a six month old kitty named Shadow. She’s quite the curious kitty. She would sniff you… a lot. While you were here, I’m sure I could take you on a few adventures. Perhaps I could take you with me when I volunteer in my son’s Kindergarten class twice a week. Or maybe we could go to the park & take a nice stroll if the weather cooperates. I know my son would take you & let you help him build a Thomas track in his bedroom. I would even let you in on a recipe or two while you were here so you could take them back to 3D Christy! Thank you for considering coming to my house for a visit.
Sincerely,
One Busy Momma (a.k.a. Heather)
Flat Christy and regular Christy are welcome here anytime. Not sure about the dish to share…would I do something from the Adirondack Mountains of NYS or the shark filled waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Florida..*YIKES*!
Bon Appetite!
Oh that sounds like fun! Flat Christy is always welcome at our house too in N.W. Arkansas! My 13 and 3 year old would have a fun time with her and we could cook up some yummy goodness! 🙂
That meatloaf sounds awesome too. I’ve been making a slightly modified version of the one you already had on here (’cause I can’t find the durn Hunt’s stuff anymore!) and it’s been good to us, but I’m always up to try new things.
I think Flat Christy should go international. My three kids and I would love to have her come visit us up in Saskatchewan, Canada. We would give her a grand tour of our hometown and treat her to all kinds of Canadian treats such as, perogies with melted butter and fried onions, keilbassa or Saskatoon berry pie just to name a few things…mmmmmmm soooo delicious!!!
Please, please, please, please, PLEASE!!! ~on my knees~ Consider us…since we may not see you on your book tour this may be as close to the real thing as we can get!
Love your site!
Christy,
What a cute idea!!
It may be too soon after your cookbook to say this, but you might have the start of another cookbook, What Makes America Great ~ Food! or Come to Dinner ~ American Style or maybe you could pull out one of those wonderful Southern phrases that your peeps posted a while back: Walking in Tall Cotton ~ Visits to America’s Great Cooks.
Anyway, thanks for the post.
