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

  • Step 1
    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..
  • Step 2
    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.
