How To Make Crockpot French Onion Meatloaf
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, and 1 cup of Swiss cheese. Add the chopped onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir or mix with your hands until well combined.
Step 2: Shape the Loaf
Form the mixture into a firm loaf shape and place it into the slow cooker.
Optional: Spread ketchup over the top for added flavor.
Step 3: Cook Slowly
Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 hours, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
Step 4: Add Cheese Topping
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle extra Swiss cheese over the top. Cover again and let it melt.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it firm and juicy
