If you love meat loaf, you’re likely already a fan of Cracker Barrel’s famous meat loaf. And if meat loaf isn’t your thing, we’re pretty sure this recipe is about to change your mind! Like all of our favorite homemade meat loaves, our copycat Cracker Barrel meat loaf recipe is packed with flavor (plus melty cheese, chopped veggies and buttery Ritz crackers.)
What’s the best meat for meat loaf?
We prefer a meat loaf with at least 80% ground beef. That amount helps give the meat loaf a juicy consistency and keeps it from drying out. If you want to combine the ground beef with another meat then ground pork, ground veal, ground lamb or ground turkey (like in this turkey meat loaf) are all good options.
This meat loaf recipe calls for two pounds of ground beef. You can swap in another ground meat, but at least 1.6 pounds should be ground beef—the rest can be any of the above.
