worcestershire sauce |
| ½ cup |
water |
| 2 tsp |
mustard (paste not powder) |

| Method |
| 1. |
Make two long strips of aluminium foil, long enough to sit in the crock pot and overhang at sides. Place them in the crock pot so that they form a cross on the bottom of the pot. When the meat loaf is cooked you will use this to remove it from the crock – so make sure the ends are long enough to gather on top of the loaf. |
| 2. |
Place all meat loaf ingredients in a very large mixing bowl. |
| 3. |
Mix with hands (yes – will need to get those hands dirty for this one) until well combined. |
| 4. |
Shape with hands into a large round meatloaf about ½ an inch smaller than your crock pot. |
| 5. |
Place loaf into crock pot, on top of the aluminium foil strips. |
| 6. |
Mix all sauce ingredients together. |
| 7. |
Pour over top of meat loaf. |
| 8. |
Cover and cook for 8-9 hours on Low OR 4-6 hours on High. |
| 9. |
Remove from crock pot using aluminium strips as handles. Cut into slices and enjoy with roast vegetables or steamed vegetables and mashed potato. |
