Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 box Stove Top Stuffing (any flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s at the right temperature for cooking the meatloaf evenly.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, dry stuffing mix, eggs, water, and half of the ketchup. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
  3. Shape the loaf: Place the meat mixture into a greased bread loaf pan. If you don’t have a loaf pan, shape the meat mixture into a loaf on a foil-lined baking sheet. Fold the foil edges up to catch any juices for easier cleanup.
  4. Add topping: Spread the remaining ketchup over the top of the meatloaf. For a flavor twist, you can use BBQ sauce, chili sauce, or a mix of sauces instead.
  5. Bake: Bake the meatloaf for 45-50 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure it is cooked through and safe to eat.
  6. Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes after baking before slicing. This helps retain juices and improves texture. Serve warm with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of Stove Top stuffing to change the taste profile of your meatloaf.
  • If you prefer, substitute the ketchup topping with BBQ sauce or chili sauce for different flavors.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest after baking to keep it juicy and easier to slice.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure safety.
