Magic Slow Cooker Meatloaf

Comments

This recipe for Magic Slow Cooker Meatloaf combines the comfort of meatloaf with the ease of a slow cooker dinner recipe. Simply mix the ingredients together in the morning, place them in the slow cooker, set it and forget it! The slow cooker meatloaf holds its form while cooking, creating a meal that will be ready to serve when you are. Since it cooks in the slow cooker, it comes out super moist and full of flavor! Top it all off with a sweet ketchup mixture. For a complete meal, you can also place peeled and chopped potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker surrounding the meatloaf, and cooking them all together! We recommend placing a long piece of foil in the slow cooker before placing the meat in so it's easier to take out once cooked.

Notes


  • Variation: Instead of 3/4 cups ketchup in the meatloaf, you can use 8 ounces tomato sauce. For a different flavor, you can also use 1 cup milk mixed with 1 packet gravy mix.
