How to Make Low Carb Meatloaf in a Slow Cooker
Cris here.
As long time readers may already know, I am a sucker for a Philly Cheese Steak. When I was pregnant with Miss Add many, many years ago, I was absolutely obsessed with a good Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. I just love the flavors of the green peppers with mushrooms and onions and that glorious provolone cheese! Here at Recipes That Crock we have made a couple different Philly Cheese Steak inspired recipes:
So when I was flipping through Keto Comfort Foods and saw a recipe for Philly Cheese Steak Cupcakes, I began thinking about how I could adapt our Low Carb Meatloaf Parmesan to a Low Carb Crock Pot Philly Cheese Steak Meatloaf. So, after a few tests, this delicious low carb meatloaf was born! Everyone in my family LOVES this dish! Leftovers are fought over. It is definitely a keeper.
We love making this recipe in our Ninja Slow Cooker so we can saute the veggies in the same pot before slow cooking. So, I start with butter, mushrooms and peppers and saute them until tender. Then I mix together the remaining ingredients (except the mozzarella slices) and divide it in half. Press half of the meatloaf down into the slow cooker and then layer half the slices of cheese on top. Then add the remaining meat and cook on high for 2-3 hours. Once the meatloaf is cooked through, add remaining cheese on top and melt before slicing up to enjoy!
Crock Pot Philly Cheese Steak Meatloaf Notes
This recipe was inspired by the Philly Cheese Steak Cupcakes inย Keto Comfort Foods.
We like to use our Ninja Slow Cooker to make this dish a one pot prep. However, you can use a traditional slow cooker if you choose to do the saute step in a skillet instead of the unit.
This is a VERY cheesy recipe. If you would like less cheese, skip the cheese layer in the middle.

Heat the butter in a sauce pan and season mushrooms and peppers with salt and pepper and saute until tender.
Meanwhile in a bowl combine beef, eggs, parm, Italian seasoning, onion and garlic until mixed well, seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
Add peppers and mushroom to meat mixture and combine well.
Press half of the meat mixture into the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker.
Top with half of the cheese slices and then press the remaining meat mixture on top of the cheese.

This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it. I only have one question, I don’t see any crackers or breadcrumbs listed. Does it not get runny or greasy without them? I’ve just never made any type of meatloaf without some sort of something to soak up any juice to help keep it glued together. But with or without, I am making this , this weekend!
Hey Brandie!
The original recipe is low carb, so we skipped the breadcrumbs. It has been a while since I have made this, but if I recall, the parm helps hold it together. The leanness of your ground beef will determine the amount of grease that will cook down. If you prefer the texture of a meatloaf that has bread crumbs and do not need the recipe to be low carb, I’d just add some in. It won’t likely impact cooking time. Hope that helps!
Oops. I topped meat with cheeze then cooked. Heres hoping still tasty.
Hi Ginia-
We haven’t tested it in the Foodi yet, however, you could cut the recipe in half and use the method from this recipe: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/instant-pot-old-fashioned-meatloaf/ . Again, I haven’t tested it yet, so I can’t recommend it. However, if you do give it a try, I’d love to hear how it goes.
This was delicious ๐! We put worstershire sauce on ours….it was so good!
Hey Missy!
I accidentally left the two eggs off the ingredient list. I have added it now. Enjoy!
Hi! Would love to try this but have a question. In the instructions for your Philly Cheese Steak meatloaf, you say to add eggs, but there are no eggs listed in the ingredients. Do you add eggs and if so, how many?
Hey Ellen!
I totally left it out from the ingredient list but have updated now. 2 Eggs. Enjoy!
In your instructions you say to mix beef and eggs, but in the ingredient list there is no mention of eggs. If there are eggs, how many?
Thanks

I hope it turned out well and you enjoyed it!
What kind of mushrooms to use?
You can use white or bella mushrooms. Enjoy!
I really want to make this, but i want to use my Ninja Foodi. Do you have a conversion for this?
