    1 onion soup mix
    1 egg
    1/2 cup breadcrumbs

    The Crock Pot liners are well worth the money. Since your food ended up burning, the liners would save you a lot of time as you would not need to clean so much. Adding liquid and/or reducing cook time would also help.

    On the poor man's stew you can actually cook the ground beef in the crockpot. And if you omit the tomato paste, garlic and oregano you have "mince" which is essentially a deconstructed shepherds pie...I grew up in a Scottish household and my Granny made it all the time...so good!
