   1 1/2  pounds        lean ground beef
   1                    egg -- beaten
     1/2  cup           dry bread crumbs
     1/2  cup           tomato juice
   3      tablespoons   chopped onion
   3      tablespoons   chopped green bell pepper
   3      tablespoons   chopped celery
   2      teaspoons     seasoned salt
     1/4  teaspoon      thyme
                        ketchup or chili sauce

Preparation:

Using a fork, mix all the ingredients, except the catsup and pepper rings. Shape into a loaf and put into greased crockpot. Top with catsup and pepper rings. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then on low 6 to 8 hours. Quartered potatoes coated with butter may also be cooked with this recipe. A dash of paprika will give them a nice browned look.
