Whether the kids are excited or sad that summer is over, it’s nearly time for school in many places, and for Back-to-School dinner ideas we’re updating this round-up of The BEST Slow Cooker Meatloaf. Meatloaf is one of those classic dishes that never seems to go out of style and it can be eaten on a school night for supper or for a Sunday dinner with guests. And using the slow cooker to make meatloaf keeps the house cool or frees up the cook to do other things while the meatloaf cooks!
Do you remember eating meatloaf at your grandma’s house or at your parent’s home as you were growing up? I remember the smell the meatloaf cooking as I walked into my grandmother’s home. Included in this round-up are lots of ideas for classic meatloaf similar to your grandma’s favorite meatloaf recipe, but the good news here is that all these recipes are made to be cooked in the Slow Cooker.
Just mix up the ground meat, spices, and whatever else you’re adding and place it in your slow cooker. Turn on the heat and walk away! Come back in several hours and your meatloaf will be cooked to perfection. It won’t be dried out  or overdone as sometimes can happen with meatloaf cooked in the oven.
There are endless variations for meatloaf and we tried to include many different varieties here so keep scrolling down; you’ll be glad you did! And if you try a few of these, please come back and let us know which one you like best.
