Crock-Pot Mom’s Meatloaf and Potatoes

Only 9 ingredients needed in this classic recipe for Crock-Pot Mom’s Meatloaf and Potatoes! A complete slow cooker dinner!

Slow Cooker Mom’s Meatloaf and Potatoes

I really love a good meatloaf even though it is not something we cook very often. But when I do make meatloaf everyone in the family loves it. And then I remember just how very good meatloaf is and vow to put it on our meal plan more often.

This meatloaf recipe is very easy and only requires 9 ingredients. To make it more of a complete meal I added potatoes to the slow cooker that cook while the meatloaf cooks. A side salad really rounds out the meal but serve whatever green veggies your family likes.

Lean ground chuck is what I like to use in my meatloaf, not only for health reasons but because there is less fat that cooks off your meatloaf in the slow cooker. You can also use ground turkey or chicken in this recipe too if you want to. A combination of beef and turkey can make a very flavorful meatloaf that is a little bit lighter in calories.

The rest of the ingredients are pretty simple. Egg, milk, bread (use gluten free bread if you are on a GF diet), adobo seasoning (store bought or our Homemade Adobo Seasoning Mix recipe), onion, bell pepper, and ketchup for the topping.

Simple simple SIMPLE!

The only thing you need to keep in mind while making this recipe is to make sure not to add too many potatoes. If you slow cooker is more than 75% full then whatever food is near the top of the slow cooker isn’t going to cook very well.
