     Title: Meat Loaf With Chili Sauce
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads, Chilies
     Yield: 8 servings

     1 lg Onion; fine chopped
   1/2 c  Seasoned bread crumbs
     1 sm Bell pepper; chopped
     2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
   1/2 c  Chili sauce
     2 tb Spicy brown mustard
     4 cl Garlic; minced
   3/4 ts Salt
   1/4 ts Dried oregano
   1/4 ts Dried basil
     2 lb Lean ground beef
          Additional chili sauce (optional)

 Cut four 20x3" strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross
 so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on
 bottom and up sides of a 5 qt slow cooker. Coat strips
 with cooking spray.

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

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

 FREEZE OPTION: Cover and freeze leftover meat loaf
 slices in a greased 2-qt. shallow baking dish. To use,
 partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from
 refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Set oven @
 350°F/175°C. Reheat meat slices, covered, until a
 thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F/74°C.
