What is cracker meal?

Cracker meal is a coarse, ground mixture made from crushed crackers. It is often used as a breading or coating for fried foods such as chicken, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used as a thickener for soups and stews, or as a filler for meatloaf or meatballs. Cracker meal can be made at home by crushing saltine crackers or other types of crackers in a food processor or blender. It is also available for purchase pre-made in some grocery stores. Cracker meal adds a crispy, crunchy texture to dishes and can be seasoned with herbs and spices to enhance flavor.
