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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
