1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
Additional chili sauce, optional

Instructions

Cut four 20x3-in. 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-in. 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 °. 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: Securely wrap and freeze cooled meat loaf in plastic wrap and foil. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Unwrap meat loaf; reheat on a greased shallow baking pan in a preheated 350 ° oven until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165 °.
