1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
2

Spread ketchup over the bottom of the loaf pan, then sprinkle brown sugar over the ketchup.
3

In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, crackers, eggs, onion, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan. Arrange the bacon strips on top in a lattice or another pattern.

Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and the bacon is cooked, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf should register at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
