Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce and ketchup. Set this mixture aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed Ritz crackers, and onion soup mix.
Add in the eggs and 1/2 cup of the barbecue-ketchup mixture to the ground beef. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Press the meat mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Spread the remaining barbecue-ketchup mixture over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
While the meatloaf is baking, cook the macaroni noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and condensed cheddar cheese soup until smooth.
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Stir in the cooked macaroni noodles until they are well coated with the sauce.
Add 2 cups of the shredded cheese to the macaroni mixture and stir to combine.
After the meatloaf has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven.
Spread the macaroni mixture evenly over the meatloaf.
Top with the remaining 2 cups of shredded cheese.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 17-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
