Make a tender, juicy meatloaf with rich French onion flavor using your slow cooker. This set-it-and-forget-it recipe is perfect for easy weeknight dinners and finishes with a layer of melted Swiss cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 packet French onion soup mix
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup caramelized onions
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, sliced
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, French onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten eggs, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the ingredients combine; do not overmix the meat.
  2. Shape the mixture into a loaf form and place it in the crockpot insert.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, spread the caramelized onions over the top of the meatloaf.
  5. Place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the onions. Cover and cook until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  6. Carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot. Slice the meatloaf and garnish with fresh thyme before serving.

Notes

  • For best results and juiciness, do not overwork the ground beef mixture when combining ingredients.
  • Serve this hearty slow cooker main dish with mashed potatoes or green beans.
  • If you do not have caramelized onions, you can use a packet of dry onion soup mix for the flavor base.
