Make this easy meatloaf with Stove Top stuffing mix for a moist, flavorful, and quick weeknight family meal. This recipe uses stuffing instead of breadcrumbs for maximum tenderness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (any savory flavor)
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or prepare a baking sheet for free-form loaf baking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Stove Top Stuffing Mix and warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  3. Add the ground beef, eggs, milk, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and pepper to the stuffing mixture.
  4. Use your hands to gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared loaf pan or on the baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar to create the glaze.
  7. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and return it to the oven.
  9. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F for beef or 165 degrees F for turkey.
  10. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This is a great shortcut dinner.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
  • To make meatloaf cupcakes, press the mixture into a muffin tin and bake for about 25 minutes.
  • Serve this hearty dinner recipe with mashed potatoes and green beans for a classic American dinner.
  • You can prepare this meatloaf ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking.
