Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix (pork-free)
- 1 lb ground beef Standard blend with some fat content works best.
- 2 large eggs Use fresh for better flavor and texture.
- ½ cup ketchup Divided for topping.
- ½ cup water Do not exceed this amount to prevent sogginess.
Instructions
Preparation

- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix, ground beef, eggs, water, and half of the ketchup. Stir until evenly mixed.
Baking
- Pour the meat mixture into the greased loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Top with the remaining ketchup and spread gently for a glaze.

Notes
Allowing the meatloaf to rest after baking will help it hold its shape when sliced. Serve with sides like mashed potatoes or green beans.
