3 lbs. ground chuck
1 lb. bulk sausage
1 large onion finely chopped or shredded
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
3/4 cup (1 pkg.) crushed whole wheat saltine crackers
2 eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper
2-4 potatoes washed and cut into fourths
Sauce:
1-cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1. Combine all ingredients except the potatoes and sauce and mix well. Shape into big ball. (To avoid sticking it works well to put mixture on saran wrap and shape into ball).
2. Place several of the potatoes in the bottom of the slo-cooker and top with the meatloaf. Place more potatoes around the meatloaf.
3. Mix sauce ingredients and pour over meatloaf. Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours.
Note: use the leanest beef you can buy for less shrinkage and less fat.
