Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it into your crockpot.
Cook on low for 4 hours or until the meatloaf is cooked through.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, top with shredded Swiss cheese and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
