Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 large sweet red or green pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 envelope onion soup mix
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 cup shredded cheddar

Directions

1. Cut three 18×3-inch strips of foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on bottom and up sides of a slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, oats, chopped pepper, onion, soup mix, garilc, salt and pepper. Add the beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into a 7-inch round loaf. Place the loaf in center of foil strips in the slow cooker. Cook, covered, on LOW until cooked through, 3-4 hours.

3. In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, barbecue seasoning, and mustard; pour over meat loaf and sprinkle with cheese. Cook, covered, on LOW until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes. Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter.
