Ingredients:For the Meatloaf:• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean recommended)• 2 large eggs• 1 package (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (any flavor)• 1 cup chicken broth (or water)• 3/4 cup ketchup (divided: 1/4 cup for the meatloaf, 1/2 cup for the glaze)For the Glaze:• 2 tablespoons brown sugar• 1 teaspoon mustardInstructions: 1. Preheat Oven:◦ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).◦ Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top, or shape the loaf directly on a foil-lined tray for better glaze coverage. 2. Prepare the Stuffing Mix:◦ In a large bowl, combine the Stove Top stuffing mix with chicken broth.◦ Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the liquid to absorb fully. 3. Combine the Meatloaf Ingredients:◦ Add the ground beef, eggs, and 1/4 cup of ketchup to the softened stuffing mix.◦ Gently mix until everything is fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender. 4. Shape the Meatloaf:◦ Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it on the prepared tray or wire rack.◦ Smooth the top and sides to form a neat loaf. 5. Prepare the Glaze:◦ In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.◦ Spread a thick, even layer of glaze over the top and sides of the meatloaf. 6. Bake the Meatloaf:◦ Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).◦ For an extra glossy finish, add another layer of glaze during the last 10 minutes of baking. 7. Rest and Serve:◦ Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its shape and juices.Servings: 6–8Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 50 minutes
