Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

2 1/2 cups crushed butter-flavored crackers

1 small onion, chopped

2 eggs

3/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 slices bacon

1 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons vinegar

3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

1/2 cup brown sugar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix together ground beef, crushed crackers, onion, eggs, 3/4 cup ketchup, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until well blended. Press into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Lay the two slices of bacon over the top. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. While the loaf bakes, mix together the remaining 1 cup ketchup, vinegar, salt, mustard and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Spread over the top of the meat loaf for the last 15 minutes of baking. Nutritional In
