Tracey's Italian Meatloaf   (view other recipes)

From the Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook

• 2 lbs. ground beef
  
• 2 cups soft bread crumbs
  
• ½ cup spagheti sauce
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 2 Tbsp. Dried onion
  
• ¼ tsp. pepper
  
• 1 ¼ tsp. salt
  
• 1 tsp garlic salt
  
• ½ tsp dried Italian herbs
  
• 2 Tbsp. spaghetti sauce

Fold a 30”-long piece of foil in half lengthwise.  Place in bottom of slow cooker with both ends hanging over the edge of cooker.  Grease foil.

Combine beef, breadcrumbs, ½ cup spaghetti sauce, egg, onion, and seasonings.  Shape into loaf.  Place on top of foil in slow cooker.  Spread 2 Tbsp. spaghetti sauce over top. 

Cover and cook on High 2 ½-3 hours, or Low 5-6 hours.

Serving suggestion:  Baked sweet potatoes make a great side.  Just wash the sweet potatoes and rub a little olive oil on them.  Wrap them individually in aluminum foil (poking them once or twice with a fork).  Bake them on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Send along a little bag of cinnamon and sugar mixed together to sprinkle on the potatoes.

Packaging suggestion:  Place the finished meatloaf and the wrapped sweet potatoes in a 9x13 foil pan.
