Your mortgage payment should be fixed, adjusting one a year for escrow
review. 

You can automate / enter a year's worth of payments from bank to
mortgage account.  

You should also have a the 360 (or other) payment amortization table as
part of your loan packet which shows you what each payment will be for
Principal and Interest.  Unless you are paying extra, you can just
follow that to pre-enter your transactions. 

Alternatively, you can enter 12 mos of payments from bank, enter 12 mos
of escrow (which should be fixed unless it adjusts) and approximate the
interest and then reconcile with your statement.  Interest will likely
decline a few dollars each payment.  

When you get your bills for taxes and insurance, if they are escrowed,
then you can enter/pay them out of the escrow asset account.
