Copycat Cracker Barrel Meatloaf is an absolutely delicious, easy to make dinner that the whole family is sure to love.

There’s something so nostalgic about meatloaf. It reminds me of being young and having family dinner with my parents and siblings.

Now that I’m a Mom myself, I make it for my own family. My kids just love it.

We usually make either Old Fashioned Meatloaf, Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf or Stovetop Stuffing Meatloaf.

We even love Crockpot French Onion Meatloaf, too. There are so many great recipes out there but I’m always looking for more to add to the list.

When I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it. Replacing the Ritz Crackers for breadcrumbs sounded delicious!

My family couldn’t have loved this one more. It’s got a permanent spot on our meatloaf dinner recipe rotation from here on out.

Serve this with some Lipton Onion Potatoes and Roasted Garlic Parmesan Broccoli and you’ve got yourself a guaranteed hit.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.
