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?!

I just moved to Lufkin, Texas. I would like to try this meatloaf recipe and wondering if Flat Christy ever meet up some stranger from Malaysia, yet : )
Tried this for dinner last nite!
What a hit!!! My husband doesn’t even like meatloaf, but he loves this! My kiddos even devoured it! I made it with the stewed butter potatoes, and added your “mud pie” for dessert! My kids really thought that was cool… Thank you for your recipes! you have helped me out when i was in a pickle many of times…Your awesome! *grins really cheesy*
i just now noticed that Flat Christy had her own tiny belly dancing scarf tied around her tiny paper hips…these girls have it together!
Flat Christy needs to come visit Music City! Nash Vegas Baby! My sweet Melynn & farm boy husband can show Flat Christy some fun!
I love a good meatloaf recipe, and love my slow cooker even more. We will definitely have to give this one a try!
We’d also love to have Flat Christy for a visit. We live in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is about the half-way point between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. We have a 14yr old son and a 4yr old daughter. Sydney loves helping in the kitchen, and would just be beside herself to have the company of Flat Christy!
Just had to say that I didn’t read the post in time to put this in the crockpot, so I baked it in the oven in a casserole dish. The last 5-10 minutes, I sprinkled on some canned french fried onions (like you put in a green bean casserole) until they browned. It’s now our new favorite meatloaf recipe – yum!! Now, I can’t wait to try those buttered potatoes….
Seems like flat Christy is in demand in Maryland. We live in the small, dry town of Damascus, MD. We’re 38 miles from Washington, DC and Baltimore.
My husband and I are empty nesters for the school year, as our son, James, is in his 2nd year of college in NC.
We’d probably show flat Christy some of the sites in DC and introduce her to some amazing Thai, Vietnamese or Indian food – we have such a diverse population and the best food ever!
