Cracker Barrel Meatloaf

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Form the Loaf

Transfer the meat mixture to the greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.

Step 4: Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to make the glaze.

Step 5: Glaze and Bake

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve slices of meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.
