Crockpot Meatloaf with Tomato Sauce

• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of lean ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 2 slices bread (I use crackers)
• milk (I prefer just a tad of evaporated milk)
• salt
• pepper
• onion if desired
• small can of tomato sauce (I prefer ketchup)

First, make foil "handles." Fold a 30-inch long piece of foil in half lengthwise. Place in bottom of a slow cooker with both ends hanging over top edge of cooker.The foil strip will make it much easier to remove the meatloaf when it's done.

I also put a piece of crumpled foil in the bottom to keep the meatloaf out of the fat.

Whisk eggs; tear up bread and add to eggs. Add enough milk to make nice and wet. Add seasonings. Mix in ground beef and onion if using.

Drop mixture into crockpot and shape. Pour tomato sauce on top.

Cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours
