I love meatloaf, but living in Florida in the summer is not a time I want to put the oven on. So when I came across this recipe thought I would give it a try. It was so easy to make and tasted pretty good. I only used ground chuck and added chopped onion and green pepper to the mix. I will be making this again.

very flavorful! this is one of the easiest meatloafs I have ever made. Much less dry than when cooking in the oven. I also only used one egg and 1/2 cup salsa in my mix. Instead of dry onion soup mix I used an envelope of meatloaf seasoning. Will definitely make again!

I love the idea of meatloaf in the slow cooker! I made this recipe, but also added chopped bell peppers and a small onion to the meat mixture, as I would in my other meatloaf recipe. This is very convenient and doesn't heat up the kitchen.

Excellent! Followed others' suggestion and put rolled up foil in bottom of cooker (a make-shift rack) so that loaf would not get soggy and it worked like a charm. Haven't had good meatloaf (or good next day meatloaf sandwiches) since I left home. Have tried other recipes but didn't like them. This recipe is so simple and so very good!

This recipe is the best meatloaf recipe I've come across. I made a couple of changes based on other reviews. I used BBQ sauce instead of ketchup, only one egg, and I didn't have bread crumbs so I used oatmeal. I also made it into two smaller loaves to speed up the cooking time, and put it up on a bed of carrots and onions cut into large pieces after it was cooked through so it wouldn't sit in the juices and get too soggy. I can't say enough about how great this recipe is. Even my niece who is a pretty picky eater loved it!

Tasty but a little soggy because of the slow cooker. A good alternative to the oven if you don't want to watch it.

Pretty good. I just used lean beef, only half the onion soup mix, and added chopped onions. I will make it again. Very quick, easy assembly.

Everyone has their favorite mixture of meat and seasonings for meatloaf. I love this recipe because you can pretty much change it to your taste and still come out with a great meatloaf! It cooked to perfection and it was ready when I got home (without heating up my house with the oven). For those reviewers complaining about grease in the bottom - it costs a little more, but using a better grade of beef makes a HUGE difference. I only use 96/4 and I had NO problem with excessive grease (even with 1lb of sausage). Turned out moist but also firm - just perfect!
