My grandma had to send me this recipe when I first moved out on my own, I missed her food so much. Goes well with just about any sides, but my personal favorites are green bean almondine, mashed potatoes, and fresh corn.

How To Make grannies meatloaf

    Personally I hate to see big chunks of crackers so I mix the eggs ketchup and crackers together and let sit for a few minutes so the crackers break up even more when I mix in the rest of the ingredients. Blend all together well place in a heavy bottomed pan,( I use my large iron skillet) place in a 350 degree oven for about 40- 45 minutes. Pull out and spread 1/4 cup more ketchup on top and let cook ten more minutes. Slice and serve..

    you can turn this into easy go to meatballs by switching out half the ground beef for ground pork, rolling into medium balls and browning in a heavy skillet.
