Prep Time, Cook Time, Total Time & Servings

Getting this Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf on your table takes about 15 minutes of prep time and 45 to 55 minutes of baking time. Altogether, you’re looking at roughly 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes from start to finish. This recipe yields about 6 hearty servings — ideal for a family meal or for leftovers that taste just as good the next day.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (lean or regular)
  • 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix (any flavor, typically 6 oz)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup ketchup, plus extra for topping
  • Optional: salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the stuffing mix: In a large bowl, combine the Stove Top stuffing mix and 1 cup of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the stuffing absorbs the water and softens.
  3. Add the meatloaf ingredients: To the softened stuffing, add the ground beef, eggs, and 1/2 cup ketchup. If you like, season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Mix gently: Using your hands or a spoon, mix all the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender meatloaf.
  5. Shape the loaf: Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and shape it into a loaf, smoothing the edges.
  6. Top with ketchup: Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for extra moisture and a tangy glaze.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  8. Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute for a moist bite.
