Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (85/15 for best results)
- 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top stuffing mix (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing Mix
In a large bowl, combine the Stove Top stuffing mix with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Step 3: Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients
Add the ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the stuffing mixture. Mix everything together using a spoon or your hands until well combined.
Step 4: Shape the Meatloaf
Transfer the mixture to the greased loaf pan and shape it evenly. Press down gently to form a firm loaf.
Step 5: Add the Ketchup Topping
Spread 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a delicious glaze.
Step 6: Bake the Meatloaf
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 7: Let it Rest & Serve
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meatloaf extra juicy.
