Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef (80 to 85 percent lean) Best for juicy results
  • 1 box Stove Top stuffing, 6 ounces Any flavor you like
  • 3/4 cup water or beef broth For softening the stuffing mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, very finely chopped Can substitute with onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow or Dijon mustard

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray it.
  2. In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the water or broth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, add ground beef, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the softened stuffing and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix or the loaf can turn dense.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8 by 4 inches on the prepared tray.
  2. Whisk together the glaze ingredients and spread half over the top.
  3. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the center reaches 160°F. Brush on the remaining glaze during the last 10 minutes.
  4. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
  1. For mini loaves: Shape into 4 minis and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. For muffin pan meatloaf: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes.

Notes

Cool leftovers until just warm, then pack slices in airtight containers. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
