A fan on Facebook a few weeks ago mentioned that she was having Slow Cooker Meatloaf, I immediately thought that sounded delicious. Meatloaf normally takes quite a while in the oven, so what better way to cook it and have it ready for dinner time!
I would recommend using lean ground beef if you do not you need to use a slotted spoon to take out of the slow cooker to avoid all the grease.
Ingredients:
- 2 Lbs Lean Ground Beef
- 4 Egg Whites
- 1 Cup Plain Dry Oats
- 1 16oz Jar of Pasta Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup White Onion, Chopped
Directions:
In a large bowl combine the ground beef, egg whites, oats, and form your loaf to fit the size of the slow cooker.
Spray the slow cooker with nonstick spray, then place the loaf in. Pour 1/2 of the pasta sauce over the top of the loaf and sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped onion.
Let this cook for 8 hours on low. I served it topped with the additional pasta sauce.

Do you know if you can use instant oatmeal for the slow cooker meatloaf? Thanks!
I have never tried instant, I would suspect it should work the same though.
Thank you for the recipe! I came over from MSQ.com. I just took the meatloaf out of the crockpot. It smells, looks and tastes so yummy! I love how easy it is to make. Definitely a keeper. I might add some garlic next time.
Yay! So glad to hear it, such a great way to make meatloaf much better than in the oven for so many hours and not able to leave it!
I cooked mine on high for six hours and it was great. So glad because I wanted it for tonight and didn’t start until almost noon.
