Cracker Barrel Meatloaf

A comforting and flavorful meatloaf that tastes just like the classic Cracker Barrel dish, made with simple ingredients.

  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup crushed crackers or breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for glaze)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp mustard (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, crushed crackers, eggs, milk, chopped onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased loaf pan and shape it gently.
  4. Prepare the glaze by mixing brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl. Brush half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, adding the remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
  6. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the meat mixture. Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
