I found this recipe 25 years ago and and have been tweaking it ever since to make it our family favorite! It is the only meatloaf my family asks for! It is requested at church potlucks!

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 c ketchup
3 lb ground beef
3 eggs
1 pkg ritz crackers (1 sleeve) crumbled
1 medium onion chopped small
1 medium bell pepper chooped small
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 Tbsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Press brown sugar tightly in bottom of loaf pan. Spread ketchup evenly on top of the brown sugar.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the rest of the ingredients. Form into a loaf and place on top of the brown sugar/ketchup in the loaf pan.
  • 3. Bake meatloaf in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until juices run clear.
  • 4. To serve, invert loaf pan on serving dish. Allow just a moment for all of the juices to flow down over the meatloaf onto the serving dish. Slice to desired thickness. Serve with your favorite creamed potatoes. The "gravy" from the meatloaf on your creamed potatoes is to die for!!! Bon apetite!

This meatloaf was delicious! I loved the crispy bacon crust and the moist, flavorful meatloaf underneath. I will definitely be making this again.

This meatloaf was okay, but nothing special. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The flavor of this meatloaf was good, but the texture was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would try using a different recipe next time.

This meatloaf was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of ground meat or adding some vegetables to the mix.

I'm not a huge fan of meatloaf, but this recipe changed my mind. The upside-down presentation is unique and the meatloaf itself is incredibly moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
