Well, I think I just ate the bestmeatloaf I have ever made. I'm Tess and
tonight I made a copycat version ofCracker Barrel meatloaf. Come join me in
my kitchen and I'll show you the recipe.
(intro music)
I've made lots of meatloaf over theyears and I've showed you how to make
meatloaf with a mushroom gravy and aturkey meatloaf. I came across this
copycat cracker-barrel meatloaf recipeand thought I would give it a try and
I'm so glad I did. It turned out great!I'm starting by making the sauce topping.
It is real simple with three ingredients...ketchup, brown sugar and a little mustard.
Giving that a good mix and setting tothe side.
Now in a large bowl I'm adding threeeggs and giving them a good whisk.
I usually use bread crumbs or saltinecrackers in my meatloaf but this recipe
calls for Ritz cracker crumbs. I'm usinga sleeve and a half and just crushing
them in a plastic bag and then adding tothe eggs.
To this I'm adding some finely dicedonion and green bell peppers. The peppers
can be optional because some peopledon't like them in their meatloaf.
I think they really added to the meatloafflavor. In goes some milk, salt and black
pepper. For the cheese I'm using sharpcheddar cheese but I do believe Cracker
Barrel uses Colby jack cheese. Givingeverything a good mix.
Just a reminder that you'll be able tofind this recipe the list of ingredients
and much more in the show more sectionbelow. I've also included links where
you can purchase online some of theingredients and equipment that I use in
this video recipe. If you have a chanceplease check it out.
I'm adding in my ground beef and I'musing an 85/15 blend. Mixing well until
combined and be careful not to over mix.I'm adding the meatloaf mixture to a
foil lined baking pan and forming into aloaf. I'm baking this at 350 degrees
Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
It's been 30 minutes and now I'mspreading and brushing on my topping.
This will go back in the oven and bakefor another 30 minutes or until done.
The meatloaf is done and it smellswonderful. Going to let this cool for
about 15 minutes before slicing. Ithought I would make this a Cracker
Barrel meal so I also made a copycatversion of Cracker Barrel's hash brown
casserole.They both required a 350 degree
fahrenheit oven so it was nice that Ican bake them both at the same time.
I made a video recipe for the copycat hashbrown casserole so stay tuned in the
future for that recipe. As I said beforethis meatloaf turned out way beyond my
expectations. It was so good and myfamily just loved it. The meatloaf was
moist with a great flavor and texture.There was no leftovers for midnight
meatloaf sandwiches! I hope you give thiscopycat Cracker Barrel meatloaf recipe a
