Crock Pot Meatloaf

I tried the recipe from Southern Plate and OMG , it is sooooo good. Maybe it's because Joe made it, doesn't everything taste better when prepared by someone else? I swear it tasted like pot roast. I left out the flax seed and cooked it for 4 hours. Enjoy!

2 pounds ground beef or turkey
1 large egg
1 packet onion soup mix
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup-regular size
1 can condensed tomato soup- regular size
*1/4 cup ground flax seed (optional)
In a large bowl, mix beef, egg and onion soup mix. Roll into “loaf form” and place in slow-cooker. Cover with condensed cream of mushroom soup. Pour one can condensed tomato soup over the top. Set slow-cooker on low and cook for eight hours or high for four.
