Tonight I made a copycat version of Cracker Barrel restaurant meatloaf. This meatloaf recipe was so good and surpassed my expectations. There was no leftover meatloaf after my family was done. The meatloaf was full of flavor, moist and had a great texture. I also made a copycat Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole. Stay tuned for that video recipe! Enjoy.

Yep, the best meatloaf! This is a great recipe. Give it a try.

@susanryman9948 5 жыл бұрын

Tess Cooks 4u that’s about the amount I added. It is definitely better that I didn’t sauté onion/green pepper. I had read when adding raw the veggies emanate moisture which is what was need the last time I made this. A winner.

I just made this after trying dozens of recipes for meatloaf. I followed it exactly and it turned out perfect! The house started smelling good before the first 30 minute segment was done. This is absolutely the best meatloaf I have ever had.

FYI Tess:I have made this numerous times since your initial post. I have been making good meatloaf recipes for 50 yrs but NOW a great recipe. I sent this to a friend in Austin and she made last night and said this recipe in her permanent repertoire. Only thing I change is I use garlic salt in lieu of regular. Everything else is per Tess. Thank you!!!

This meat loaf is absolutely delicious. I did add onion powder and some garlic powder, I didn't have milk, so I used some half and half, also I used whole grain Ritz crackers. This is definitely going into my rotation!!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
