Tonight I made a copycat version of Cracker Barrel restaurant meatloaf that I first saw on Tess Cooks 4u channel. • Copycat CRACKER BARREL... This meatloaf recipe was so good and surpassed my expectations. There was leftovers since it was just my husband that eat it. He is working night shift this week so he can take some to eat at work tomorrow. I have made this at least 4 times before. The meatloaf was full of flavor, moist and had a great texture. I plan on making Rosemary & Garlic Chicken Thighs next. Stay tuned for that video recipe! Enjoy.
