Ingredients For Meatloaf
- Ground beef. Use lean ground beef, thawed and uncooked. You don’t want to brown it before mixing in the other ingredients.
- Stove Top Stuffing mix. This is the secret ingredient to this meatloaf that makes it so flavorful and moist.
- Dry onion soup mix. Another easy way to add a lot of flavor without a lot of effort. This helps make the 5-minute prep even easier.
- Grated parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese gives this dish a subtle cheesy flavor and also helps with the texture.
- Milk. Like most meatloafs, milk is used to help the meatloaf stay moist and tender while cooking. You can use whatever percentage of milk you use at home.
- Eggs. Eggs help the ground beef and stove top stuffing mix stick together to make a loaf-like appearance.
- BBQ sauce. Smothered on top to give all the best flavors, I love making my homemade honey BBQ sauce, or if I don’t have time to make my own we also love Sweet Baby Rays.
Tips for the Best Results
- Mix Thoroughly. Make sure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed throughout the ground beef.
- Bake Just Right. It’s important not to over-bake meatloaf! When you over-bake it, it dries out and is not as good.
- Don’t Skimp On Moisture. The Stove Top Stuffing is a dry mix and will use up a lot of moisture. If you don’t use the suggested milk amount, the meatloaf will dry out.
- Barbecue Sauce. I used sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce but you can use homemade BBQ sauce or any other flavor BBQ sauce you love.
How To Make Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf
- Prep. Spray an 8×8 loaf pan with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix. Mix the ground beef, Stove Top stuffing mix, onion mix, parmesan cheese, milk, and eggs in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add. Place the mixed ground beef into the prepared loaf pan. Make sure not to press the beef down too hard so it’s not dense.
- Top. Smooth bbq sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on top on the meatloaf.
- Bake. Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour.
