Ingredients

• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 small green pepper, chopped
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
• 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp dried basil
• 2 lbs lean ground beef

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut four 20 x 3 inch strips of heavy-duty foil, crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on bottom and up sides of a 5-quart slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into a 9-inch round loaf. Place loaf in center of strips in slow cooker.

3. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until a thermometer reads at least 160 degrees. If desired, spoon additional chili sauce over meat loaf; let stand 10 minutes. Using foil strips as handles, remove meat loaf to a platter.
