Healthy Slow Cooker Meatloaf

May 10, 2016 by Tarah Thorne

I have a newfound love for meatloaf. It’s never been a staple in my family but we might just be changing that.

Meatloaf tends to get a bad rap because it’s usually filled with bread or cracker crumbs – yeah, not the healthiest. But I’m here to put a healthier spin on it! This Healthy T Slow Cooker Meatloaf Recipe is made with all the good stuff: veggies, whole oats and lean protein.

Slow Cooker Meatloaf

Running low on time these days? Don’t worry about it! This slow cooker meal cooks by itself in about 3 hours and calls for few ingredients!

I promise you this will be a one-meal-fits-all solution for people of all ages. Heck, I don’t know a single kid who doesn’t love ketchup as much as I do!

You could even make this family meal ahead of time (say on the weekend) and freeze it raw in a zip-tight bag until you’re ready to defrost it and toss it in the slow cooker. I’m a huge fan of freezer meals! They make a healthy lifestyle convenient and realistic.

I like to serve my meatloaf with a light vegetable, such as asparagus.

I'm a complete foodie who loves to stay fit! It's hard for me to whip up a classic recipe without adding a healthy twist, so I started my 'Healthy T' blog several years ago as a way to catalog my favorite concoctions. The support I've received in return has been remarkable. 'Healthy T' is all about eating to feel your best! Cheers!
