The first thing I did to prepare this Meatloaf was place a whole sleeve of crackers inside a large Ziploc bag and then I used a rolling pin to crush the crackers into fine crumbs.

Now I prepared the sauce for the meatloaf.  I put bbq sauce, ketchup and maple syrup into a small mixing bowl.

I used a wooden spoon to stir all the ingredients together and then set the sauce aside until needed.

Next I dumped the extra lean ground beef into a large mixing bowl.

To the ground beef in the bowl I added the crushed crackers, 3 large eggs, ½ cup of the prepared sauce, salt and pepper.

I started blending all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon and then used my hands to finish mixing.

Now I lined a large loaf pan with tinfoil and sprayed it with cooking spray.

Then I scraped all the meat into the loaf pan.  

To finish I topped the meat with the remaining sauce I had prepared earlier.

I placed it into a 350F oven for 1 hour or until it reached the temperature of 160 degrees with a meat thermometer.

After removing it from the oven I allowed it to cool in the pan for five minutes.

Then I used the tinfoil to transfer it to a cutting board.

I sliced the meatloaf.

Serve the meatloaf immediately after slicing.  

This classic Meatloaf is made with minimal ingredients and is quick and easy to prepare!
