ingredients
1 egg, beaten
8 ounces can pizza sauce
1/2 cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/4 cup shredded Jack, mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
directions
In a large bowl, combine egg, 1/2 the pizza sauce, and the bread crumbs. Add ground meat and stir well.
On waxed paper, shape meat mixture into a 6" round loaf. Crisscross three 18x2" foil strips. Place meat loaf in center of strips. Bringing up foil strips, lift and transfer meat to a 3-1/2 or 4 quart slow cooker using the foil strips (the strips are used as a handle to remove the meatloaf when done). Press meat away from sides of cooker to avoid burning.
Cover and cook on low heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high heat setting for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Using foil strips, carefully lift meat loaf from the cooker and transfer to a serving plate.
Spoon remaining pizza sauce over meat. Sprinkle with cheese. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
