I didn't have the saltines...so I used 1 cup bread crumbs. I also added some chopped celery to the meat mixture, some garlic as well. I reduced the milk to a 1/2 cup. I didn't put the brown sugar and ketchup on the bottom...I whisked them together in a bowl with a little bit of Worcestershire and then poured it over the meatloaf before baking. Surprisingly, despite the name..this does not turn out sweet.

Enjoy!
