Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 ounce box Stove Top stuffing mix (any flavor)
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup ketchup (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan or dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside to prepare for the meatloaf.
- Mix Eggs and Water: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of water until the mixture is smooth and combined thoroughly. This will act as the binding base for the meatloaf.
- Add Stuffing Mix and Ground Beef: To the egg and water mixture, add the entire 6-ounce box of Stove Top stuffing mix, 2 pounds of lean ground beef, and 1/4 cup of ketchup. Use your hands to gently but thoroughly mix all ingredients until everything is evenly combined.
- Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Shape the meat carefully into a loaf shape, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the pan or creating a traditional loaf form.
- Top with Ketchup: Brush the top of the meatloaf evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup. This will add glaze and keep the meat moist during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) and is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice into portions and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of Stove Top stuffing mix to customize the taste of your meatloaf.
- Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps keep it moist and easier to cut.
- For extra flavor, try adding chopped onions or herbs to the meat mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix ketchup with a little brown sugar or mustard before brushing.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure safety and doneness.
