Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup French onion soup
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, French onion soup, parsley, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix until just combined—do not overwork the mixture.
Shape into a loaf and place in the crockpot.
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
About 10 minutes before serving, top with Swiss cheese, cover, and allow to melt.
Carefully remove the meatloaf and let it rest before slicing.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken.
Add caramelized onions or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Mozzarella or provolone can be used instead of Swiss cheese.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Great with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
