1 cup ketchup
1 cup Sweet Baby Ray\u2019s Hickory & Brown Sugar barbecue sauce
2 lbs lean ground beef
30 Ritz Crackers
2 oz Lipton onion soup mix
2 eggs
3 cups macaroni noodles
2 cups milk
10.5 oz condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
4 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a 9\u00d713 inch baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ketchup and barbecue sauce. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef. Crush Ritz Crackers and add to the bowl. Add the Lipton onion soup mix and eggs. Pour in 1\/2 cup of the ketchup and barbecue sauce mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix all ingredients together until fully combined. Press the mixture evenly into the baking dish. Spread the remaining ketchup and barbecue sauce on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 30 minutes. Cook the macaroni noodles according to package directions, then drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large bowl, whisk together milk and condensed cheddar cheese soup until smooth. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stir in cooked macaroni and 2 cups of shredded cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Pour the macaroni mixture on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for an additional 17-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customize the cheese blend to your preference.
