How to Make Chili Meat Loaf

  1. Create foil handles for your slow cooker: Cut three 18x3 inch strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  2. Arrange the foil strips in the bottom of the slow cooker, crisscrossing them like bicycle spokes to create handles.
  3. Lightly spray the foil and the slow cooker with cooking spray.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 packet beefy onion soup mix, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 large eggs, ¾ cup chili sauce, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined.
  6. Gently shape the meat mixture into a round ball with your hands.
  7. Carefully place the meatball into the prepared slow cooker.
  8. Gently pat the meatball into a loaf shape.
  9. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
  10. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, spread the remaining ¾ cup chili sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  11. Once cooked, use the foil handles to carefully lift the meatloaf out of the slow cooker and serve.
