Preparation
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before using. Put oil or butter on a baking dish that is 9 by 13 inches in size.
In a bowl, mix the ketchup and barbecue sauce together. Put aside.
In a big bowl, put the ground beef. Crush Ritz crackers and put them in the bowl. Mix in the Lipton onion soup powder and eggs. Add half a cup of the mixture of ketchup and barbecue sauce.
Combine all the ingredients until they are well mixed. Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish. Put the rest of the ketchup and barbecue sauce on the top.
Cook in the oven for half an hour. Prepare the macaroni noodles following the instructions on the package, and then remove the water.
In a big bowl, mix milk and cheddar cheese soup until smooth. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix in the cooked macaroni and 2 cups of grated cheese.
Take the meatloaf out of the oven. Pour the macaroni mix on top and spread it out evenly. Put the rest of the cheese on top.
Bake for another 17-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown. Wait a bit before serving.
