Cracker Barrel's meatloaf is a classic, and you'll love making it at home!Packed with flavorful ingredients like ground beef, onions, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese, this recipe is a comforting delight.Sweet and tangy glaze made with brown sugar tops it all off beautifully.The key to a moist meatloaf is not overmixing the meat mixture.Bake it in a loaf pan for the best shape and texture or try a baking sheet for a crispy exterior.I love how versatile the recipe is, and you can even make a double batch and freeze one for later!
