1/2 cup whole milk
2 slices white bread
1 1/2 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1 small onion, peeled
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 can (12 oz.) whole tomatoes

Place the milk and the bread in a large mixing bowl, and let stand until the bread has absorbed all the milk.

With two forks, break the bread into crumbs. Beat the ground beef into the crumbs until well mixed. Make a hollow in the center of the meat and break the eggs into it.

Beat the eggs slightly; then grate the onions into the eggs. Add salt, pepper and mustard. Mix the eggs into the beef.

Shape into a round cake and place in the slow cooker.

Drain the tomatoes, and place them on the meat. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours.

Before serving, uncover the pot; turn the heat to high, and reduce the sauce. It should be thick, not thin.
