With fall almost here this Slow Cooker Meatloaf Recipe is going to become a weekly meal in our house. This past weekend I was asking the family what they would like for dinner and everyone was wanting meatloaf. I was excited as it allows me to stretch my ground beef further which saves me $$’s. Plus I could use my slow cooker and not heat up the kitchen (a big plus). Meatloaf is one of my favorite comfort foods especially when fall arrives. A few weeks ago I shared our Meatloaf Cupcakes Recipe . They were a hit!

I was a bit worried about making a meatloaf in our crock-pot. My hubby said there was NO WAY! Ha ha I set out to prove him wrong.

Oh and it came out looking beautiful too! The potatoes and carrots were a wonderful addition and allowed me to cook everything right in the slow cooker.

If you are looking to make a wonderful and tasty meatloaf you will want to whip up this recipe. I do not think I will be cooking meatloaf in the often very often in the future. The whole family kiddos included loved this one. I am thinking I will make two next time and add peppers and onions to the adult loaf. Without them this meatloaf was great but, I am anxious to try those additions next time around.

This is so delicious! It tasted even better 2 days later! Thank you for sharing.
I make about 12 crockpot meals once a month, throw ’em all in the freezer and pull them out as needed for filling easy homecooked meals.
EVERY MONTH, when I ask my husband if there’s a specific meal he wants to have again, he says THIS meatloaf. It’s super simple, ridiculously easy, and a real crowd pleaser. PLUS, we can get quite a few meals out of it with it being just the two of us.
Thanks for the great recipe, it was a game changer for us.
This was really good, I will definitely make it again!
Mine turned out great!!! I have a Hamilton Beach slow cooker, not an actual crock pot, so it took another couple hours to cook… may try turning it up on high a little sooner next time. Thanks!
Made this tonight and it was amazing! Our 3 and 4 year old both loved it. My grocery store didn’t have a 1.5lbs. The closest I found was 1.3 but was enough. I used 80/20 chuck. Only used half cup milk and little more panko bread than what was called for. I have a 6qt and only cut up 2 red potatoes and definitely not a pound of carrots.
This is one of the best meatloaf recipes I’ve ever made. Thanks for sharing.?
Yum! I usually do something similar but with meatballs – this was looks much simpler and so tasty! Thanks for linking up to the Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesday; I can’t wait to see what you bring to the party next!
Oooo…I’m going to have to try this. Meatloaf is one of my family’s favorite dinners and I like that I can cook all the veggies with it. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.
I have only tried a mexican meatloaf recipe in my slow cooker but I will be adding this version to my upcoming menu. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
Hi Jen, I have a very similar recipe – I could tell by the sauce on top! I like to add Montreal Steak Seasoning to mine for an extra flavor boost. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Blessings, Janet
