Today is one of those days that I get to share a recipe that I am so stinkin’ excited about. I LOVE this recipe and more importantly, my family loves this recipe AND the leftovers. Miss Add calls it MEAT-zza (her version of Meatloaf Pizza). Check out Mikey’s video about it!

I have been wanting to try to make a low carb meatloaf in the crock pot for ages but frankly, I am very picky about my meatloaf, so I wasn’t sure how I wanted to go about it. T hen I came across a marinara meatloaf in The Complete Low-Carb Cookbook and it got me thinking. I loved the way George Stella used Parmesan cheese as the binder, so I gave my own version a go in my slow cooker. The results were fantastic! We have made this several times and everyone fights over the leftovers!

Notes on Crock Pot Meatloaf Parmesan:

• Using lean ground beef for this recipe is important because the meat will shrink up and the fat will pool around the outside of your loaf. If you use a higher fat beef, your loaf will be a lot smaller and you will have a lot more excess oil around the outside.
• Once your meatloaf is done, lift slices out of oil and store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• This recipe was inspired by an oven recipe we found in George Stella’s Cookbook: The Complete Low Carb Cookbook
• We used our Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Slow Cooker to make this dish but you can use any 6-7 quart slow cooker.
• Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in ourAmazon Influencer Shop.
• You can find more low carb recipes in ourLow Carb Recipe Librarythat we update weekly.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and shouldalways be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
