I love anything Cracker Barrel and I also love meatloaf, so when I found this recipe on Youtube describing exactly how to make a Copycat Cracker Barrel Meatloaf, I went wild and couldn’t wait to make it.  I started by preheating the oven to 375 degrees, then I mixed all the ingredients for the meatloaf into a bowl.

Then I shaped the meat mixture into a loaf shape and placed it on a foil-lined pan.

While it was cooking I made my Meatloaf Sauce Topping out of Ketchup, Brown Sugar, and Mustard.

Then I took the meatloaf out of the oven and poured the sauce over it and cooked it for another 30 minutes.

This recipe is so delicious, I can’t tell you how much my family loved it!
