American Meat Loaf Recipe

Ingredients
Meat Loaf
2¼lb (1 kg) ground beef (mince meat)
1 onion finely diced
½ can
(210ml - 7 fl oz)
tomato soup - other half used in sauce
1 tbls worcestershire sauce
2 tbls brown sugar
1 cup bread crumbs
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 egg
lightly beaten
Sauce
½ can
(210ml - 7 fl oz)
tomato soup - other half used in meat loaf
1 tbls worcestershire sauce
½ cup water
2 tsp mustard (paste not powder)
2 tbls brown sugar


Method
1. Make two long strips of aluminium foil, long enough to sit in the crock pot and overhang at sides. Place them in the crock pot so that they form a cross on the bottom of the pot. When the meat loaf is cooked you will use this to remove it from the crock – so make sure the ends are long enough to gather on top of the loaf.
2. Place all meat loaf ingredients in a very large mixing bowl.
3. Mix with hands (yes – will need to get those hands dirty for this one) until well combined.
4. Shape with hands into a large round meatloaf about ½ an inch smaller than your crock pot.
5. Place loaf into crock pot, on top of the aluminium foil strips.
6. Mix all sauce ingredients together.
7. Pour over top of meat loaf.
8. Cover and cook for 8-9 hours on Low OR 4-6 hours on High.
9. Remove from crock pot using aluminium strips as handles. Cut into slices and enjoy with roast vegetables or steamed vegetables and mashed potato.

Serves 4-6
