Spicy Glazed Meat Loaf

To ease removal of the meat loaf from the cooker, fold two 24-in.-long pieces of aluminum foil in half lengthwise, then in half lengthwise again. Place strips across each other, forming a "+" in bottom of a 3-qt or larger slow-cooker. Press strips against inside of cooker, letting ends hang over the outside.

In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup ketchup with the remaining ingredients until well blended. Form into a 7 x 4 x 2-in. loaf. Place in cooker; spread top and sides of loaf with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup.

Cover and cook on high 4 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted in center of meat loaf registers 160°F.
