Whether served alongside mashed potatoes and green beans or sliced into hearty sandwiches, this graham cracker meatloaf brings nostalgic, home-cooked goodness to your table with a delightful twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, graham crackers, milk, eggs, and chopped onion.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix everything together until well combined, but do not overmix as it can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan and press it down gently to form an even layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to form a glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve immediately, or let it cool completely if planning to freeze. For freezing, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap or foil, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
