Making meatloaf is not that difficult, whether you do it in the slow cooker or in the oven. The advantage of the slow cooker is that the minced meat is a lot more tender.
This is what you need for a meatloaf for 4-6 people:
Mix the ingredients for the meatloaf marinade together and let it rest for a while before placing it in the slow cooker.
First I cut 2 more onions into rings, which go at the bottom of the slow cooker so that the meatloaf is not in its own moisture, but on top of the onion rings.
That is of course also possible. You make the meatloaf and the marinade in the same way. Then preheat the oven to 180°C
As you can see, it doesn't make much difference whether you make the meatloaf in the oven or in the slow cooker. The convenience of the slow cooker is that you don't have to stay with it and that you can prepare it early before you focus on the rest of the food.
Meatloaf is also delicious on a sandwich, but also delicious with mashed potatoes or celeriac puree.
