I adapted a recipe from one of my Church cookbooks. I use unsalted cracker crumbs because we are on a low sodium way of eating. Everyone says it has plenty of flavor and asks for the recipe. The sauce is truly part of the goodness with this meatloaf! If you are fortunate enough to have any left over, it makes a great sandwich!
