Slow Cooker Meatloaf

 

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs

2 teaspoons dried minced onion

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage

1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire

 

Combine eggs, milk, bread crumbs, onion, salt, sage, and mushrooms in a large bowl. Add ground beef and blend well. (You can use a wooden spoon, but a clean pair of hands works better.) Shape into a loaf. (If your cooker is round, you can use a straight-sided bowl as a mold. Mine’s an oval, so I use a loaf pan.) Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours. Stir remaining ingredients together and spoon over loaf. Continue cooking another 20 to 30 minutes. I suppose you could serve meatloaf without mashed potatoes, but why would you do that?
