Here’s a stove-top stuffing meatloaf recipe—savory, moist, and packed with flavor 🍴
Stove-Top Stuffing Meatloaf
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef (or a mix of beef & pork)
- 1 box (6 oz) Stove-Top stuffing mix (any flavor, like chicken or herb)

- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
Optional Topping
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line with parchment.
- Prepare stuffing
- In a small bowl, mix Stove-Top stuffing with milk. Let it absorb for a few minutes.
- Mix meatloaf
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, sautéed onion and garlic (optional: sauté for sweetness), egg, ½ cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and prepared stuffing.
- Mix gently until combined—don’t overwork or it gets dense.
- Shape & top
- Form mixture into a loaf and place in the pan.
- Mix topping ingredients and spread on top of meatloaf.
- Bake
- Bake 55–65 minutes, until internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Rest & serve
- Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Variations
- 🧀 Add shredded cheese in the center for a cheesy surprise
- 🥓 Wrap with bacon for extra flavor
- 🌿 Add chopped parsley, thyme, or rosemary to stuffing for depth
- 🍄 Fold in sautéed mushrooms for a hearty twist
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute skillet version that doesn’t require baking—still delicious and moist.
Do you want me to do that version too?
