[[{“value”:”While meatloaf is most commonly served with mashed potatoes, if you haven’t tried this savory ground-meat dish with a side of hash browns, you are missing out. If you think this is strange, ask any Cracker Barrel patron about the next-level deliciousness of the hashbrown casserole that pairs perfectly with any breakfast, lunch, or dinner entree. Where can you order meatloaf and hashbrowns? Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best combo, according to diners.
Cracker Barrel
Cracker Barrel’s “The Best Classic Meatloaf” is the most popular order. “Second only to mom’s. Made with a hearty blend of beef, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes,” the menu states. One Yelper said, “I have never had a bad meal at Cracker Barrel at any location. Some of my recommendations are most of the breakfast foods and of course the meatloaf. I can never get enough of that!” And, the hashbrown casserole is oh-so-good.I always recommend the hashbrown casserole,” another diner said.
Bob Evans
Bob Evans serves homestyle beef and pork meatloaf that diners love. “I am hooked on the Meatloaf. It is always cooked to perfection and comes with gravy for the potatoes and meatloaf,” says a diner. Get it with a side of home fries: hearty chunks of red-skinned potatoes lightly seasoned. Diners are constantly searching for dupe recipes online. “I work at Bob Evans. We use red potatoes. We cook them about 5 minutes in an ounce of oil. Stir them up and another 5 minutes. We also put a bacon weight on them as they are cooking,” a Facebooker reveals.
Black Bear Diner
Black Bear Diner‘s meatloaf is a fan favorite. “The homemade meatloaf is a mix of ground beef, seasoned sausage, carrot slivers and diced onions. Really great. Firm and a 1/2 inch thick. Now they claim it’s roasted. I found it fried on both sides also. Crispy outside yet perfect inside,” a diner explained. As for the hash browns, “Yours are theeeee best!” a Facebook commenter wrote on a post from the diner about the taters.
