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 packet onion soup mix
- 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.
Well it looks like Flat Christy had a really good time! Ummm…I didn’t mean it that way I swear! lol I really like the idea! That’s a pretty cool way to engage everyone and kinda bring this group of folks together. I also think it’s really cool that we get to see a sampling of dishes from all over. Really neat!
Oh, but don’t send Flat Christy my way unless you think she’s up to eating hot dogs and mac n cheese for dinner. lol j/k I’d find something worthy to serve up I’m sure.
Thanks again for a really great post!! Maybe Flat Christy can take some of your work load. hehe Keep up the good work.

Hello Dahling,
Anytime you want to send Flat Christy to me , I will show her around
and probably take her to work with me. I would take her to the Oldest town in Tennessee. Jonesborough. Take her to visit family and friends. Also to the big Fossil Site we have here. It might not be as exciting as some of the other places that you have been invited to but maybe you will have time to come around to me sometime in the future. Thanks for sharing your trip to Texas with us. That was a real fun trip.
I don’t think I could make meatloaf without filling it full of onions. I do like onions.
By the way, call me pernickity if you want but I always wear thin rubber gloves when handling raw meat. Especially chicken. I am so aware of samonella and clean up with clorox spray on my counters when I am finished even though I set it on newspapers. I guess it is the nurse in me??? I pull off my gloves and then roll up the newspaper with the meat tray , gloves and other stuff to thow away and it is one clean up.
I am the caregiver of my 93 year old father and 88 old mother…can they count as my kids?
We live in Charleston, SC and would love to invite Christy into our home.
How about some shrimp and grits?
Looks like Flat Christy had a great time.
My favorite meatloaf is a crock-pot recipe I found on http://www.recipezaar.com It didn’t call for tomato soup, but it did call for everything else plus cheese, and you lay onion and taters on the bottom of your crock and then lay your loaf on top. It’s mine and my hubby’s fav. I use to not even like meatloaf until I tried this recipe. Just thought I’d share a couple of tip there. Hope you have a great night!

What a creative and fun idea! Oh the things I could do with flat kids this summer….and we have a yummy recipe to boot.
We live in San Jose, CA, the “Heart of Silicon Valley”. There are three adorable young kids in our family, 6, 3 and 1. Life is always moving here.
If Flat Christy were to visit us, she might make it to school as show and tell, to MOPS and most definitely to the park. If it’s during the summer she may even make a trip with us to Tahoe, San Francisco, Monterey, Oakhurst (outside of Yosemite), and we wouldn’t want her to miss a dip in our pool. We enjoy the many natural and other amusement activities that are abundant in this area.
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful recipes, great insights and family laughs. It’s more than a cooking blog for us all.
Blessings,
Paula
I think flat kristy should visit all 50 states.
Hey Flat Christy if you come over to the great state of Louisiana next weekend you can partake in a super Irish St Pattys Day parade, or attend one of the great Easter Egg hunts we’ve got coming up! Plus daughter’s 3rd birthday party is on the horizon- and I know you LOVE cake- as she’s the only child of ours, they’ll be plenty of cake!!
Dad has promises to share with you the secret family BBQ sauce- the man can bbq a mean rib girl- you would LOVE them!
3-dimensional Christ- love the meatloaf recipe- but then I’ve a meatloaf addict! LOL
