What you’ll need
- Ground beef– 80%, 85% or 90% works well. Or use ground chicken or turkey.
- Eggs– I use large eggs
- Stove Top Stuffing– any flavor works! I typically use turkey flavored stove top stuffing or savory herb most often.
- Chicken broth– can also use beef broth, vegetable broth, or water.
- Ketchup– for the topping. If you don’t like ketchup, use BBQ sauce, Chili Sauce, or Salsa.
How to make Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf
- Pour the stuffing into a large bowl and add the broth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak in.
2. Add in the ground beef and eggs. Mix together only until combined, don’t over mix.
3. Shape into a loaf and put on a sprayed sheet pan or baking dish, or into a loaf pan.
4. Spread the ketchup over the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
6. Let it cool 5 minutes before slicing. I like to serve meatloaf with a side of green beans and mashed potatoes.
Tips, Tricks, Suggestions
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven in individual slices.
- You can freeze Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf! Bake as directed and let cool completely. Slice and wrap the individual slices in foil and add them to a freezer safe bag. Freeze up to 4 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake in the foil on a sheet pan for 20 minutes at 350ºF, or from frozen for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
- Add chopped onion, garlic, fresh herbs or shredded cheese.
- Top with BBQ sauce, chili sauce, a mixture of ketchup, yellow mustard and brown sugar, or salsa instead of ketchup, for a different variation.
- You can make this ahead: Just assemble the meatloaf, add to a baking pan and wrap in foil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours then bake as directed.
- Split the meatloaf into muffins! They will only need to bake 20-30 minutes at 350ºF. If you’re feeling extra, top them with mashed potato “icing”!
