Meatloaf Ingredients
- 1.5 cups crushed buttery crackers such as Ritz
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- 1.5 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with foil; coat foil with cooking spray.
- Stir together cracker crumbs, evaporated milk, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, eggs, garlic, and onion in a large bowl. Add beef to bowl; mix well (with hands) to combine. Turn beef mixture out onto prepared pan and shape into a 9 x 4-inch freeform loaf.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together ketchup and pepper jelly in a medium bowl.
- Remove meatloaf from oven (leave oven on). Pat away drippings and cooked proteins from around the meatloaf. Spread ketchup mixture over meatloaf and return to oven.
- Bake until a thermometer inserted in center registers 165°F, about 30 minutes. Remove meatloaf from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 12 slices.
Notes
You can substitute the pepper jelly with barbecue sauce or apricot jam for a similar sweet-tangy flavor. Ground turkey or other meats can also be used in place of beef.
