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?!

Flat Christy is a wonderful idea!! We would love to have her visit us here in CT.! We have twice hosted Flat Stanley from NC. and enjoyed our adventures! Flat Christy could enjoy the beach, apple or berry picking, the Seaport,and visiting Stew Leonards (one of Stanley’s favorites),and s’mores around the fire bowl! Our sons and daughter-in-laws would enjoy that too! What fun it would be to cook along side Flat Christy…I already have a recipe in mind!
I loved hearing of her adventure in Texas with the Coers family and look forward to trying the slow cooker meat loaf!
Bountiful Blessings!
Flat Christy can come visit us up here in Columbia, SC. She would get to ride around in a state troopers car (hand cuffs optional :^)than she would get to come to work with me at the hospital. If she comes and visits in the next few weeks she would even get to go to a civil war reenactment and dress up as a southern lady from the 1860’s, she could keep an eye on my 21 month old while I cooked us all dinner and I promise I would keep our boxers and cats at a safe distance from her.
From a teacher (actually staying home with the kids for now), this is the most fun thing I’ve seen someone do on a website! I love stuff like this and I would love to host Flat Christy at our home. We live in Alabama just like you, just a different part. We have 1 girl and two boys…5, 3, and 1. Depending on when she’s here would determine what she did but we do have a birthday party, Easter, T-ball games, a recital, family outings, and much more coming up in the next few weeks! So fun! I have no idea what she would eat while she’s here because I’m not the best cook (the reason I read and subscribe to your site) but I’m sure I could whip something up that I didn’t learn from you. Ooh. I’ve already got it!! It’s a surprise though!! Yay for 3-D Christy!
I would love to invite Flat Christy up to Eastern Iowa in the middle of July. I am on the creative arts committee for the county fair, plus a 4-H leader and the mother of two 4-H members. I am sure that Flat Christy would enjoy visiting our county fair and helping with judging the food categories for the open class. She might also enjoy helping the girls carry in their items for judging and waiting to see what their results are. This will be my youngest daughters first year in regular 4-H so she is 10 and just finishing the 4th grade. My older daughter is almost done with 4-H as she is 16 and completing her sophomore year of school.
Oh, gosh, I got SO excited to host Flat Christy that I thought it up all on my own before I even read that YOU wanted to send her someplace else next!!! So, I commented before I read the post, THEN I read the post and found out that there are some requirements for my “entry.” So, shame on me for jumping the gun, but I hope you’ll still consider our family as a vacation destination for FC. I have one sweet baby boy, Will, who is 18 months old and I am pregnant with a little girl, Emma, due in July. We’d show you the Seattle stand bys, like the Space Needle and Fish Market, but we’d also show you a day in the life of this busy, tired SAHM. Of course, what Flat Christy would see would really depend on the day. You know how it is. . . teething, colds, impromptu playdates, etc. But every day is special and fun in it’s own unique way, as I know you understand.
Squeee! I hope we’re chosen!!!! We are a gosh darn fun family and about as far as you could send Flat Christy in the continental United States!
We’d love to have Flat Christy (or the real Christy!) in Seattle, WA., any time! Just let me know when and we’ll show you an amazing time!
We would love to host flat Christy! We live in Alabama too but have only lived here under 4 years. Moved here from New England. “We are not from the South but we got here as fast as we could” – paper napkin. –
