  3. Dice up 5 slices of Swiss cheese and add to the meatloaf mixture. Mix until combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the slow cooker.
  5. Pour the French onion soup over the meatloaf.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  7. Five minutes before serving, top with the remaining 3 slices of Swiss cheese and cover until melted.
  8. Slice and serve with the onions and broth spooned over the top.

Notes

You can save time by using pre-caramelized onions. For a richer flavor, add a splash of beef broth along with the French onion soup. The meatloaf can be lifted out with parchment paper for easier handling if desired.
