Meatloaf with Stuffing...

LavernLuvsShoes — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 20:00:37 GMT

Someone mentioned adding Stovetop Stuffing to Meatloaf - I've never tried it, but it sounds good...

My question is: Do you simply add the entire (dry) pkg. to the meat mixture, or do you make it according to the instructions, then add it?

I've added it to the raw meat mixture. (You may need MORE liquid, tho...like tomato sauce, broth, or whatever flavor you prefer).

I wouldn't use the whole box of stuffing, tho. Just whatever "looks right". di

Add dry. I use 4 ingredients, ground beef, eggs, stuffing mix, catsup. There are other variations, just search Stovetop Stuffing Meatlaof.

I often do this and we like it this way. I add 2 eggs, the dry stuffing mix and if it seems to be dry I will add a bit of milk.

I'm not a fan of meatloaf with bread and eggs in it. I just add some finely chopped onion, bell pepper and some spices of choice, a blob of ketchup and some days just a little chunky salsa or even alone to the meat.

I've made individual stuffed meatloves by lining a large coffee cup with Saran wrap, molding a layer of meat to line the cup, then filling with prepared stuffing. Make a small patty for the top and press so it's sealed. Easily lift out of the cup to put in baking dish. I made a sauce out of cream soup, a little milk, ketsup, and Worchestershire. Pour over the meat and bake.

This gives you real meat-flavored stuffing.

You all have made me hungry for meatloaf. I'm 81, have made a lot of meatloaf over the years and don't think I've ever made the same exact recipe more than once. And now you have given me even more ideas. Thank you. I love leftover meatloaf even better for sandwiches.

@LavernLuvsShoes Here's the recipe I found many years ago:

Easy Pleasing Meatloaf

Ingredients

1 cup water

2 lb. lean ground beef (if you use 80/20 it’s going to fall apart)

1 pkg. (6-1/4 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix, any variety

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce, divided or use ketchup (or a mixture of both)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients except 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce.

SHAPE meat mixture into oval loaf in 13x9-inch baker or a sheet pan; top with remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. (I use a sheet pan lined with foil and parchment paper, but if you have a ceramic 9 x 13 baker, it will be easier to remove) BAKE at 375°F for 1 hour or until center is no longer pink.

Ok Ladies,

I always add salsa, egg, ketchup and bread crumbs to my meatloaf, but next time I make it, I'm adding the stuffing (instead of the bread crumbs).

Thanks to everyone who responded. ♥

I use the same recipe that @PA Mom-mom uses, however I don't add bbq sauce or ketchup. Also, I cook mine for an hour and 15 minutes.

I always use 80/20 ground beef and have never had my meat loaf fall apart.

This really does make a delicious meatloaf. I used to change up my recipe every time I made it, until I discovered this recipe. I've been making it this way for the last 25 years or so.

Be sure to add a cup of water, too, along with the dry stuffing mix!

@Citrine1 You could use the "juicier" kind of salsa too rather than a cup of water.

I've done this with Stove Top Sage stuffing and eggs and it came out delicious. I think I used the entire bag but it will depend on how much hamburg you are using. I generally make 2lbs,

so I get two 1 lb loaves and I freeze one.

One of my aunts used to add Kellogg's croutettes to her meatloaf, and it was very tasty, so using stuffing mix should be, too.
