STOVETOP STUFFING MEATLOAF

Making Stove Top Meatloaf is quick, easy, and delicious. It’s a family favorite recipe for many reasons. All the herbs and spices added from a simple box of Stove Top Stuffing make all the difference when it comes to a perfectly seasoned Meatloaf Recipe.

As strange as it sounds, I prefer using Chicken flavored Stove Top Stuffing in this Meatloaf Recipe, but Savory Herb is also a perfect choice. There are many flavors to choose from, and all will yield excellent results.

With only a few ingredients, it’s sure to be a family favorite recipe for you too!

I like to use 85/15% lean hamburger for this Stove Top Meatloaf recipe, but if you prefer more fat content in your hamburger, it will work just fine. I find using a 93/7% fat does not 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.

Tips for Success

For the best results, ensure the stuffing mix is completely absorbed before mixing it with the beef. This will help maintain the moisture and texture of the meatloaf.

Additional Tips or Variations

Try adding some grated cheese into the meat mixture for an extra layer of flavor. Alternatively, use turkey or a mix of beef and pork for a different taste profile.
