Crock Pot Meatloaf

ToiCara's Note:

This meatloaf is a breeze to make, holds together and slices nicely- a problem I have had with meatloaves in the past. It is a sure winner from my mother-in-law, who is a fabulous cook. Feel free to experiment with Ro-Tel tomatoes or other ingredients.

I've made this several times and forgot to rate it! It's become my go-to meatloaf recipe, but I use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs to make it a WW Core/Simply Filling recipe (0 pts). And it's oh, so yummy!! The onion soup mix makes all the difference!

Was out of dry onion soup mix, so I subbed 2 Tbs. instant beef bouillon. My husband and teenage son ate half the meatloaf before I came home from work that night, and they're still talking about "that amazing meatloaf" two days later :) Thanks for the great recipe.

This turned out great! I was a bit skeptical as I have never used the crock pot to cook a meatloaf, but it was so hot outstide, I had to try it. The meatloaf held together very well. I made little foil "straps" to help lift it from the crock pot.I did decrease the milk to 1/2 Cup as it seemed wet enough to me at that point. I also reduced the onion soup mix to about 3/4 of a package. Will definitely make this again. Thx.
