Ingredients
Scale
- 1 6-ounce box Stove Top stuffing (any flavor)
- ¾ cup half and half
- 1 small yellow onion, grated (using large holes on cheese grater)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ⅓ cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the Stove Top stuffing mix and half and half. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Add the grated onion, minced garlic, ground beef, Italian seasoning, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper to the stuffing mixture.
- Mix everything together using your hands until well combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
- While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and ketchup in a small bowl.
- After 45 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the prepared sauce evenly over the top.
- Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain the juices and make slicing easier.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense and tough.
- Let the Stuffing Soak: Allowing the stuffing mix to soak in the half and half fully before adding the other ingredients ensures it’s evenly distributed and helps keep the meatloaf moist.
- Shape with Care: Press the meatloaf mixture into the pan gently, just enough to shape it. Compressing it too much can lead to a dense texture.
- Use a Thermometer: To ensure the meatloaf is cooked perfectly, use an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
