Amish Meatloaf
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Mix the ground beef, crushed crackers, 3/4 cup ketchup, the onion, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the eggs until evenly combined. Press the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan; place the bacon on top.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until done, about 1 hour. While the loaf bakes, whisk the remaining 1 cup ketchup, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, the vinegar, the mustard, and the salt in a bowl; spread over the top of the meatloaf during the last 15 minutes of baking.
