# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup of ketchup, split into two portions
02 -
1 box of flavored Stove Top Stuffing
03 -
1 pound of ground beef (best with higher fat)
04 -
2 eggs, large
05 -
1/2 cup water
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F to get it ready.
02 -
In a big bowl, combine the ground beef, stuffing mix (don't cook it), eggs, half of the ketchup, and water.
03 -
Scoop the meat into a greased bread pan. No bread pan? Make a loaf shape on a foil-lined baking sheet instead. Curl the edges of the foil to catch any drips and make clean-up simple.
04 -
Spread the rest of the ketchup on top. You can swap in barbecue or chili sauce if you'd prefer.
05 -
Leave it to bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 160°F in the middle.
06 -
Once cooked, let the meatloaf sit for 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Pair with mashed potatoes or your favorite sides!
# Notes:
01 -
Using ground beef with more fat makes a juicier loaf since the stuffing soaks up the juices.
02 -
For lean beef, add some milk, a splash of water, or another egg to avoid dryness.
03 -
Feel free to mix in diced onions, minced garlic, shredded cheese, spices, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
