Description
This juicy, flavor-packed meatloaf is made with Stove Top stuffing, ground beef, Dijon mustard, and BBQ sauce for an easy and comforting dinner.
Ingredients
1½ tbsp olive oil
2 lbs ground beef (80–85% lean)
6 oz Stove Top Stuffing mix (boxed)
⅓ cup milk (or chicken/beef broth or water)
1 large egg
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup BBQ sauce (or ketchup)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (or ¼ cup chopped parsley)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, stuffing mix, milk, egg, Dijon mustard, BBQ sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined (do not overmix).
Shape and Bake:
Press the meat mixture evenly into the loaf pan. Use a spoon or fingers to press down along the edges and create a shallow well.
Bake:
Bake for 45–50 minutes. Remove from oven, spread ketchup over the top, and return to oven for 10–15 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (72°C).
Rest and Serve:
Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate cooled meatloaf in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
Freezing: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat in oven at 250°F (120°C) for 25–30 minutes with a splash of broth or water to retain moisture.
Customization: Swap BBQ sauce for ketchup or chili sauce. Add chopped onions or cheese if desired.
