1−1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard

bread has adsorbed 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 a
little; then grate the onions into the eggs. Add salt, pepper and mustard.
Beat 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
