Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef (see notes)
-
1 box Stove Top Stuffing (any flavor)
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup ketchup
-
1/2 cup water
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bread loaf pan or line a baking sheet with foil.
-
Mix ingredients in a large bowl: ground beef, dry stuffing mix, eggs, water, and half of the ketchup. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Shape the meatloaf by placing the mixture into the greased loaf pan. If using a baking sheet, form a loaf shape and place it on the foil-lined pan.
-
Add the glaze by spreading the remaining ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf. For extra flavor, you can mix the ketchup with BBQ sauce or chili sauce.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). If unsure, use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
-
Rest before slicing. Let the meatloaf sit for 5 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve warm.
