Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
- 6 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, dry onion soup mix, garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into a loaf and place in the bottom of a crockpot.
- Pour the French onion soup around the meatloaf (not over it).

Notes
- Use ground turkey or a beef-pork mix for variations.
