Recipe

• 1 heat oven to 350 degrees.

• 3 spray an 8x4 (or 8x5) glass loaf pan with cooking spray.
• 4 press mixture into pan. bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
• 5 note: kids love making the cracker crumbs too! put crackers in a ziplock bag and give them a masher (or they can use their hands).
• 6 also: i prefer a 2 parts ketchup to 1 part mustard mixture, but my recipe says "to taste". the ketchup and mustard mixture can also be substituted with bbq sauce or cocktail sauce.
