Form meat mixture into a loaf shape. Make three long strips of foil by folding pieces twice. Lay one strip vertically and two horizontally on top, then place meatloaf on top.
Carefully transfer meatloaf on foil strips to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours or on high for 2 1/2 hours, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160°F.
Remove meatloaf from slow cooker. Discard any stuck drippings as well as foil and place meatloaf on serving dish. Sprinkle on cheese, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
