Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top stuffing mix (savory herb, chicken, or cornbread flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup water (or low-sodium beef broth or milk)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add stuffing mix and pour in water. Let sit for 2-3 minutes until stuffing absorbs liquid.
- Add eggs and whisk gently into the stuffing mixture.
- Add ground beef and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer mixture to prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve hot. For firmer slices, let cool an additional 5 minutes.
Notes
For extra flavor, brush the top with ketchup or barbecue sauce before baking. If using ground turkey or chicken, add 1 tablespoon olive oil for moisture. Gluten-free stuffing mix can be substituted for a gluten-free version. Letting the meatloaf rest after baking helps it hold together and keeps it juicy. Leftovers are great for sandwiches and freeze well.
