–          1 tbsp. of liquid smoke

–          1 sleeve of saltine crackers original or RITZ Crackers

–          1 pie pan or 8×10 rectangle pan lined with foil 

*** You can cut this recipe in half
Directions:
–          1-2 days prior, mix together the ground beef, eggs, liquid smoke, and ¾ of BBQ sauce (save the remaining ¼ for topping). Refrigerate until ready to bake.
–          Crumble the sleeve of crackers before opening the package with your fingers until fully mashed.
–          Dump the sleeve of crumbled crackers into the meatloaf bowl and mix all together.
–          Mold the meatloaf into a half round in the pie pan.
–          Bake on 350 for 1 hour covered with foil (keep an eye out, all ovens are different).
–          Remove meatloaf and drain off the oil. Leave off foil.
–          Continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes.
–          Turn oven to Broil and spread the remaining BBQ sauce on the top of the meatloaf. Broil it until the BBQ sauce gets crispy (about 5-10 minutes).
–          Remove meatloaf and drain access grease.
–          Serve with your favorite mashed potatoes, gravy, and rolls/butter. We used Hawaiian rolls and toasted them when the meatloaf was on broil.
–          Perfect for a cold winter night. The leftovers are delicious on a sandwich or just reheated.
Ingredients for mashed potatoes:
–          5 pound bag of potatoes. We used Russet.
–          1 stick of butter
–          ¼ cup of mayonnaise
–          ½ cup of milk
–          Your favorite garlic seasoning
–          1 jar of Turkey gravy (Boston Market has the best)
–          Salt & Pepper
Directions:
–          Boil a pot of water with a few sprinkles of salt
–          Remove half the skin from each potato and cut into cubes
–          Place potatoes in the boiling water until soft
–          Heat the jar of gravy in a separate pan
–          Drain all the water
–         Add butter, mayonnaise, and milk to the potatoes and mash until creamy
–         Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to your liking. Sprinkle paprika and parsley for prettiness.
