Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 3/4 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
1 small onion, chopped finely
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
2 slices of regular-sliced bacon
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/8-1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients throughly together and pack into a loaf pan.
  • Next put the strips of bacon on top and bake for an hour at 350F degrees.
  • While waiting, mix the sauce ingredients together.
  • After the hour is up, pour and smooth the sauce onto the meatloaf and cook another 15 to 20 minutes. I have sometimes added 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt instead of the salt to the sauce mixture and that is also delicious!
