Ingredients
6 tablespoons ketchup, divided2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce12 saltines, crushed1 medium onion, finely chopped6 garlic cloves, minced1 teaspoon paprika1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon pepper1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
Preparation
Cut three 20x3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 3-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, saltines, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne. Crumble beef over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly.
Shape into a round loaf. Place in the center of the strips. Cover and cook on low until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°, 4-5 hours.
Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter.
Spread remaining ketchup over top.
