How to Make CRACKER BARREL MEATLOAF Step by Step

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with foil for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, crushed crackers, and milk. Mix gently until the ingredients start to bind together.
  3. Add diced onion, bell pepper, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and shredded cheese. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated without overworking the meat.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking tray. Make sure it holds its form firmly.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze. Spread half of it over the meatloaf before baking.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove and spread the remaining glaze on top. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes until fully cooked. Let CRACKER BARREL MEATLOAF rest before slicing.
