Ingredients
1/2 cup tomato sauce2 large eggs, lightly beaten1/4 cup ketchup1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce1 small onion, chopped1/3 cup crushed saltines (about 10 crackers)3/4 teaspoon minced garlic1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt1/8 teaspoon seasoned pepper1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)1/2 pound reduced-fat bulk pork sausageSAUCE:1/2 cup ketchup3 tablespoons brown sugar3/4 teaspoon ground mustard1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preparation
Cut three 25x3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly (mixture will be moist). Shape into a loaf. Place meat loaf in the center of the strips.
In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Spoon over meat loaf. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter.
