Anti-Martha Stewart Meatloaf

Submitted by Elizabeth H.

"Warning: this recipe contains crackers, which Martha says is a MAJOR NO-NO! But it's moist and flavorful and is easy enough for a junior chef to make! Tested at high altitude."

This is a great recipe and the best combination to go into a meatloaf yet. I always substitute jarred pasta sauce for the ketchup though!

At first the recipe name intrigued me, but it was the ingredients that got me to try this out. I used all beef instead of beef/pork, and left out the Worcestershire sauce. Leftovers the next day made a pretty good sandwich!
