Make this incredibly moist and flavorful meatloaf using Stove Top stuffing mix instead of breadcrumbs. It is a simple, quick weeknight meal that delivers classic comfort food taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (Savory or Turkey flavor)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for mixing)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Stove Top Stuffing Mix, water, eggs, milk, and 1/4 cup of ketchup. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down lightly and evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  5. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the meatloaf juicy.
  7. Slice and serve this moist meatloaf immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor, you can substitute the water in the stuffing mix with beef broth.
  • If you prefer a loaf shape over a pan loaf, form the mixture into a loaf shape on a foil-lined baking sheet instead of using a pan.
  • This recipe works well for make ahead meatloaf; prepare it fully, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the bake time if cooking straight from the refrigerator.
