Cracker Barrel Meatloaf

 I'm not a big fan of Cracker Barrel, but they do make a delicious meatloaf.  I make a pretty mean meatloaf, but we loved this recipe enough that I will make it again.  Here is a copycat recipe:

Cracker Barrel Meatloaf

2 eggs

2/3 cup milk

32 Ritz crackers, crushed

1 / 2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 tsp salt

pepper

 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

 1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp mustard

Preheat oven to 350

Beat eggs. Add milk and crackers.  Stir in onion and cheese.  Add ground beef.  Mix well.  Shape into a loaf.   Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to make the topping. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.  Spoon half of the topping over the meatloaf after 30 minutes of baking.  Return loaf to oven for 10 more minutes.  Then spoon the rest of the topping over the meatloaf.  Bake for 10 minutes more.

I served it with cooked cabbage, mashed potatoes, and Cracker Barrel baby carrots.
