Stovetop Stuffing Meatloaf is the easiest meatloaf you’ll ever make! The meatloaf comes out so tender and so flavorful thanks to the stuffing mix then it’s all topped with gravy! A FASTER THAN TRADITIONAL MEATLOAF RECIPE Stovetop Stuffing Meatloaf is a simple, comforting meatloaf that packs a lot of flavor from the use of everyone’s favorite stuffing mix. Many of you who grew up in the 70’s, 80’s or even the 90’s probably remember this recipe very well. It was super popular when stovetop became a household name. And it takes that boring meatloaf taste and really amps it up! Don’t get me wrong, to me, traditional meatloaf is delicious, especially if you use my Momma’s Meatloaf recipe, but with the added stovetop stuffing, it will win over even the pickiest eater! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  What can I use in place of the gravy? This would be fantastic with a simple ketchup or bbq glaze as well and skip the gravy. Can I make this in a loaf pan instead? I always make my meatloaf this way. Using some kind of baking dish other than a loaf pan, allows all that excess grease to bake off of the meatloaf, where as, if you were making this in a loaf pan it just sits in all that fat. Plus, with this recipe, we are using two pounds of ground beef and that would probably be too much for most standard loaf pans. You could even use a baking sheet if that is all you have. What should I serve with this stovetop stuffing meatloaf? As you can see in the pictures, I like to serve my meatloaf slices on a bed of Creamy Mashed Potatoes with a simple side of peas and carrots or any other veggies I have on hand. This is just a comfort food meal, so if you’d rather have pasta or a pile of mashed sweet potatoes, whatever fills your belly, will do the job. Can I make this in the Crock Pot instead? Sure, you can also use my Crock Pot Meatloaf recipe and follow those cooking instructions once you’ve assembled your loaf. Can I make this in the Instant Pot? You bet. I’d assemble the loaf using the instructions for this recipe then use the cooking instruction in my Instant Pot Meatloaf recipe. Can I make meatloaf in the Air Fryer? Of course, I’d recommend using my Air Fryer Meatloaf recipe if you want to do that. You could use that loaf recipe, or this Stuffing Meatloaf recipe and then just cook it in the Air Fryer. What’s the best way to reheat meatloaf so it doesn’t dry out? Reheat any leftovers covered in aluminum foil in the oven with a splash of water or stock to keep it moist. How long do leftovers keep? You can keep your leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) Stove Top Stuffing Mix – it doesn’t have to be this brand specifically, you can use the store brand if you prefer. beef broth – you can use low sodium, or no sodium beef broth if desired. large eggs Worcestershire sauce lean ground beef – I used an 80/20 mixture. You want to use a leaner beef like 80/20 so there is not so much fat that comes out of the meatloaf itself. If you are only using one pound of ground beef, you will want to cut all the other meatloaf ingredients in half. butter all-purpose flour black pepper HOW TO MAKE STOVETOP MEATLOAF Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Add the stuffing mix to a large bowl. Stir in the beef broth and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add the eggs and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine. Add the beef and mix it well, but try not to overmix it so it doesn’t become tough. I like to use my hands for this. Add the beef mixture to the baking dish and form it into an even oval shape. For even cooking, you want to make sure it is the same thickness all the way through. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Allow to sit at room temperature and cool slightly while you make the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk it in, cook for 1 minute. (If you like thicker gravy, add an extra tablespoon of flour.) Stream in the beef broth slowly while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Place the meatloaf on your serving platter. Brush the meatloaf all over with the gravy. Slice and serve with more gravy over each portion.
