Cracker Barrel Meatloaf

Serving

Once the meatloaf is done baking, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it up with your favorite sides, whether it’s mashed potatoes, green beans, or mac and cheese.

Leftover Ideas

If you happen to have any leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), meatloaf sandwiches are a classic option. Simply slice the meatloaf and serve it between two slices of bread with some mayo and lettuce for a satisfying lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

2. Can I substitute breadcrumbs with oats?

Absolutely! Rolled oats can be a great substitute for breadcrumbs in meatloaf recipes. They provide texture and help bind the ingredients together.

3. Can I make this meatloaf ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the meatloaf mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before baking for even cooking.
