Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a sheet pan with foil.
  • In a large bowl, mix the stuffing mix with milk or broth and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
  • Add ground beef, eggs, diced onion, and a few spoonfuls of ketchup or BBQ sauce. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Mix gently with clean hands or a fork until combined; avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan. Spread a layer of ketchup or BBQ sauce on top.
  • Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.

Notes

For a sweeter glaze, mix ketchup with a little brown sugar. For tangy, add a splash of vinegar or mustard. Keep leftovers wrapped in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for 2-3 months.
