Make this incredibly moist and flavorful meatloaf using Stove Top stuffing mix instead of breadcrumbs. This recipe is a quick shortcut for a satisfying weeknight dinner your family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (any savory flavor)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for free-form shaping.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Stove Top stuffing mix and 1 cup of water. Let the mix stand for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  3. Add the ground beef, eggs, milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to the stuffing mixture.
  4. Use your hands to gently mix all ingredients until they are just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape on your prepared pan or press it into the loaf pan.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
  9. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  10. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This is the secret to a juicy meatloaf hack.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor, substitute half of the ground beef with ground turkey for a Turkey Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf.
  • If you prefer a gravy topping over a sweet glaze, prepare a simple brown gravy while the meatloaf bakes and pour it over the slices when serving.
  • This recipe is excellent for making Meatloaf Cupcakes With Stuffing Mix; divide the mixture into a muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.
