Crock Pot Meatloaf

Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole milk
2 slices of bread
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs (farm fresh from a friend are best!)
1 small onion peeled
1-1/2 teas salt
1/2 teas pepper
1 teas dry mustard
12 oz whole tomatoes

Instructions:
Place milk and bread in large mixing bowl, let stand until bread has absorbed all the milk.
With 2 forks break the bread into crumbs.
Beat the ground beef into the crumbs until well mixed.
Make a hollow in the center of the meat and break the eggs into it.
Beat the eggs a little, then grate the onion into the egg.
Add salt, pepper and mustard.
Beat the eggs into the beef.
Shape into a round cake and place in the slow cooker.
Drain tomatoes and place them on the meat.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours.
Before serving, uncover the pot turn the heat to high and bubble away some of the sauce.
It should be thick, not thin.

Let me know if you make it and how it turns out!!
