Description

This easy and flavorful Stove Top stuffing meatloaf is a comforting, budget-friendly dinner that’s ready in just over an hour. With minimal prep and maximum flavor, this moist and perfectly seasoned meatloaf is a family favorite, ideal for busy weeknights or cozy weekends.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor and moisture)
  • 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix (savory herb or chicken flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup water or milk
  • 1/3 cup ketchup (plus more for topping)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Stove Top stuffing mix, eggs, and water or milk. Add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings if using.
  3. Mix by hand until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared pan.
  5. Spread ketchup over the top of the loaf.
  6. Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Try different stuffing flavors like cornbread for variety.
  • Add shredded cheddar, sautéed onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  • BBQ sauce can be used instead of ketchup on top.
  • Leftovers reheat well and make great sandwiches the next day.
