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 love the “Flat Christy” idea. I’ve seen this used for school projects and it’s a great family project. If you want to return to Texas you’re more than welcome!
Christy – I just brought Faye over here to see her recipe on your site and I tell you, I thought I was going to cry! You made her day! 🙂 She was beaming! She smiled so sweet, it was fantastic. Bless you for making Miss Faye feel so special!
Flat Christy would have a grand time here in Smithfield, NC. We are close to the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) and get to enjoy big city life while being far enough away from it to consider ourselves rural! My daughter, Anna Jane, loves to help me cook and sometimes sneaks into the kitchen to “cook up concoctions” of her own (mashing bananas and blueberries with cinnamon sugar and freezing it in little Dixie cups! imagine my surprise when I saw that business in the freezer!!!) We are an active family so Flat Christy might end up on our nature trail identifying snakes or floating down Middle Creek in a canoe! We would have a great time entertaining her and wow-ing her with our culinary skills!
That is the most creative thing I have ever heard of! I hope Flat Christy gets to visit many kitchens around the world. And of course, she is always welcome at the “Georgia Jordans”!
Flat Christie is welcome to come visit us in sunny New Mexico! We can introduce her to the finer side of green and red chili. Careful, these chilis are addictive! Hope you can make out this way. I’ll introduce you to my class of third graders and my teenage daughter might put together some crazy fashions for you to enjoy…
What a great idea and that recipe looks fabulous!
Oh my goodness – looks like flat Christy had quite the adventure! And I’m gonna’ have to try that meatloaf recipe too!
