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

- 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 was a great idea and I so enjoyed seeing the family and the kids and how much they were involved with Flat Christy. I don’t know how you came up with this, but such a wonderful idea. Thanks.
Dear Flat Christy,
I don’t know if you would be willing to travel out of the Unites States. I live in Newfoundland, Canada. If you visit, we take to see the many beautiful sites including Cape Spear, which is the most easterly point in all of North America!! My husband and I have 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy, in that order, ranging in age from 3 -13. We hope that you would consider visiting us, we would have a fabulous time and I know my children would love a visit from you!!
Dear Flat Christy,
My family has a position available which is open immediately. The opening is temporary, and includes both some light housework and fun family outings/gatherings. Typical outings include trips to museums (mostly the science/learning kind), visits with family (Grandma has chickens!), and the occasional movie or sporting event.
They also enjoy the local attractions here in the Ohio River Valley; Oglebay Park is known worldwide for it’s Festival of Lights, but they have plenty to offer during all four seasons. There is lots to do in Pittsburgh, just 90 minutes away, home to many interesting innovations and loads of history, like the Duquesne Incline (worth the trip if that’s all you do!)
My family is a mix of a transplanted husband and dad, originally from Texas, and three Yankees from SE Ohio. Because of this, our meals and celebrations are a combination of Southern, Texan, and distinctly Appalachain foodstuffs. While the position we offer does require some assistance in the kitchen, please note that the mama (Katie) is always on-hand to train and nurture both you and her kids (and sometimes hubby Dave) as you learn and help. Also, Tuesday is generally “Cook’s Night Off”. That might mean pizza or take-out, or even “Brinner”, with Dave making pancakes or eggs and bacon.
Hannah and Caleb are great kids, although when they are at home they do a LOT of reading, so if you really want their attention, you might have to hop in front of a book! They are both in band, too, so be prepared to listen to some solos – they love to show company how their studies are coming along.
I hope you will consider accepting the position at our house. It doesn’t pay money, but there are lots of rewards that are even better than cash. If you come, mom is likely to bake her special “Zebra” chocolate and vanilla cake, or her Black Forrest cake, both with her (locally) famous Italian meringue buttercream. In fact, please come. I like when they have cake. They eat less dinner and I might get some leftovers in my bowl!
Yours Truly,
Tobey the Cat
We would be honored to have a visit from Flat Christy! We live in Southern California and we sure hope Flat Christy would enjoy some sunshine. 😀
Is FC still rambling around? If so, I would love to have her visit me in Indiana. I am a 68 year old,single , retired school teacher and grandma. 3 of my 7 gdks live nearby and call me Mimi..11 year old Claire has a way with animals and you would love her. FC is welcome to stop by anytime she is in the neighborhood. I’ll leave a light in the window.
What an awesome idea and a fun way to get recipes. I would love for Flat Christy to visit my family in Tennessee. I have 4 kids between the ages of 19 and 10. I watch a 2-year-old in my home and I drive a school bus. I am sure there would be plenty for Flat Christy to see and do in our busy household.
I can’t wait to try the meatloaf. Meatloaf is my absolute favorite dish. I so enjoyed reading about Flat Christy’s adventures in Texas. I am looking forward to her next visit. Two of my kids sent Flat Stanleys out in third grade and it was so much fun. I look forward to hearing from you soon! God Bless you and your family!
Oh, Oh, Choose me! Here I am jumping up & down waving both arms, SEE?
Flat Christy would have a greeeaaaatttttt time in My Little Country town in
Alamo, Nevada! Heck we might even take her on a road trip 100 miles north to Las Vegas, Nevada. 🙂
