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. ♥
