Meatloaf. In the slow-cooker?
Yes! This meatloaf recipe couldn't be any easier! It's mixed in one bowl, and cooked up in a slow-cooker, so you can just throw it together and forget about it until it's ready.
My kids love this moist version of an old family meatloaf, made in the crockpot, with eggs, rolled oats (instead of bread crumbs), and Parmesan cheese for extra flavor! I love it for the ease and simplicity.

Slow-Cooker Meatloaf (21 Day Fix Approved)
6 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
2 lb. ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup organic no-sugar-added tomato sauce
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1 tbsp. mustard
2 tsp. dried minced onion
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Spray slow-cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Crumble ground beef over mixture and stir well to combine.
Shape into an oval loaf; place in a 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 5 to 6 hours.
(Optional: Whisk a little ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; spoon sauce over meat loaf. Continue cooking on Low until heated through, about 15 minutes.)
Remove from slow-cooker and let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
This would be EXCELLENT served with a side of my Mashed Cauliflower, too!
(21 Day Fixers: There are 6 servings. Each serving counts as 1 red, 1/2 a yellow, 1/2 a blue, and a smidge of a purple -- for the tomato sauce. Just eat 4 less grapes next time!)
