Meatloaf Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 box Stove Top Stuffing (any flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, dry stuffing mix, eggs, water, and half of the ketchup. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
- Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture into a greased loaf pan or form it into a loaf shape on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Add Ketchup Topping: Spread the remaining ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake: Bake the meatloaf at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Use any flavor of Stove Top stuffing to customize the taste.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
- Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps keep it moist.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
