Ingredients
For the Meatloaf
2 lbs (900 g) ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Potatoes
2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Creamy Sauce
1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined and shape into a loaf.
Arrange the sliced potatoes and onions in the bottom of your slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the meatloaf directly on top of the potatoes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, heavy cream, sour cream, parsley, and paprika until smooth.
Pour the creamy mixture around and over the meatloaf.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the meatloaf is fully cooked and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Carefully slice the meatloaf and serve with the creamy potatoes and sauce spooned generously over the top.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with buttered green beans, roasted carrots, or a fresh garden salad for a complete homestyle dinner. Add warm dinner rolls to soak up every bit of the rich, creamy sauce.
Tender meatloaf, melt-in-your-mouth potatoes, and a velvety cream sauce come together in one comforting slow-cooker meal that’s perfect for family dinners and cozy evenings at home!
