This cozy crockpot meatloaf brings unbeatable comfort to the table with zero fuss. Ground beef mixes with tangy French onion soup seasoning, enriched with milk, an egg, and breadcrumbs for tender, flavorful texture. A crown of shredded Swiss cheese melts over the top as it finishes in the slow cooker, creating a gooey, creamy finish that elevates this classic. With minimal prep and maximum flavor, it's a set-it-and-forget-it main dish that delivers homestyle warmth—perfect paired with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or crusty bread for a soul-soothing family dinner.
1 lb ground beef
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 packet French onion soup mix
½ cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup shredded Swiss cheese (for topping)
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, French onion soup mix, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix gently—just until everything comes together.
Shape the mixture into a meatloaf and place it into a greased or lined crockpot.
Cook on low for about 4–5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160 °F (71 °C).
About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese on top and cover the crockpot to allow the cheese to melt into a gooey topping.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.
