Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, add all ingredients for meatloaf and mix thoroughly with your hands to combine.
Step 2
Line the bottom of a large slow cooker with double-folded aluminum foil, crisscross. Make sure to make the flaps, so it will be easy for you to lift the meatloaf once it’s ready. Spray the bottom with cooking spray.
Step 3
Place the mixture in the crockpot and using your hands shape it into meatloaf. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 hours.
Step 4
Spread ketchup on top of the meatloaf and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove meatloaf from the slow cooker, garnish with parsley, cut into 10 slices and serve warm with whole wheat spaghetti or quinoa. Any whole-grain side would work.
