I like to fix meals my hubby likes, so when I started making meat loaf for him, I went to his mom to find out how he liked it. I make it the same way every time, usually without variation. This is the recipe my MIL gave me. I usually don’t measure anything, I just add it til it looks good, but I’ll try my best. Adjust everything until you get something you really like!!
Hubby’s Favorite Meat Loaf
What you need
- 2 lbs ground beef ( I have also used venison, but recommend you use at least half ground beef for best flavor)
- 1 small onion
- 1/2-3/4 sleeve saltine crackers
- salt, pepper, garlic salt (all to taste)
- 4 T. ketchup (or to taste)
- 4 T. barbecue sauce (or to taste)
- 2 eggs
- more ketchup and barbecue sauce to spread over top before baking
What to do
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Spread into loaf pan; patting down firmly to make an even loaf.
- Mix together ketchup and barbecue sauce; spread over top meat loaf.
- Bake for about an hour at 375° or until meat thermometer reads 160°.
- Let sit about 5 minutes before serving.
- I serve this with mashed potatoes and a veggie, but you can serve with whatever sides you like!!
Happy Eating!!

Yum-o! This sounds exactly like the meatloaf our family has been seeking to make. We’ll have to give it a whirl.
