STOVETOP STUFFING MEATLOAF

Making pan-fried meatloaf is quick, easy and delicious. It’s a family favorite for many reasons. All the herbs and spices added from a single can of Stove Top stuffing make all the difference when it comes to a perfectly seasoned meatloaf recipe.

As strange as it may sound, I prefer to use the chicken-flavored Stove Stop stuffing in this meatloaf recipe, but the savory herbs are also a perfect choice. There are many flavors to choose from and all will work great.

With just a few ingredients, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite!

I like to use a lean 85/15% hamburger for this skillet meatloaf recipe, but if you prefer a higher fat content in your burger, it will work just fine. I find that using a 93/7% fat burger doesn’t have enough fat or liquid to moisten all the breadcrumbs.

The 85/15% gives just enough fat to add to the flavor, keep the meatloaf moist and not be heavy on the fat when it’s all done.

INGREDIENTS:

1 package Stove Top stuffing (use one of your favorite flavors, I prefer chicken, but herbed savory is good too!)

1 cup of hot water

2 packages of brown gravy mix (one for the inside of the meatloaf and one for the top)

1.5 lbs ground beef

1 cup cold water

2 large eggs, beaten

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium bowl, add the stuffing mix and 1 cup of hot water.

Let stuffing sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, mix 1 package of brown gravy with 1 cup of cold water.

Add ground beef and egg, mix well (easiest to do with your hands, it’s gross, I know).

After the stuffing has rested for 5 minutes, stir the stuffing mixture into the ground beef mixture.

Grease a bundt pan with non-stick spray, then press the ground beef mixture into the pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until the inside is no longer pink …
