This real Southern meatloaf is made with crackers.
Use frozen peas and carrots if desired.
Substitute crackers with croutons or bread crumbs if desired.
This was a definite winner. Even my husband, who doesn't like meatloaf at all, loved this and kept coming back for seconds and thirds. Instead of putting the cheese on the top, I actually integrated it with the recipe and cooked it within the meatloaf, which really worked and added a subtle cheesiness throughout. I will definitely be making this again. One hint though: the peas were a little bit hard. I recommend defrosting them a bit (not fully) before adding them into the mix. Otherwise, perfection!
