Stove Top Stuffing Meat Loaf


Wendell made this meatloaf the other night and it was super, super good.  He found the recipe in Wednesday's Star Advertiser.  I always love it when I can find the recipe online to cut and paste.

The photo below is actually the leftover meatloaf right out of the 'fridge the day after it was made (he made two).

1/2 package Stove Top stuffing, cooked and cooled (substitute with 1 slice bread, broken into pieces)
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 package Lipton onion soup mix
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 large egg
3 tablespoons ketchup, plus more to top loaf if desired
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
Pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil to grease pan
1/3 cup chopped chives (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine half to all of stuffing with remaining ingredients (for firmer meatloaf, use half of stuffing; for softer, use all). Combine well but do not overmix. Reserve any remaining stuffing to eat with meatloaf.

Place in greased loaf pan. If you like, spread thin layer of ketchup over top of loaf. Bake 1 hour, then turn off heat and let meatloaf sit in oven 5 to 10 minutes. Take out of oven and cool before slicing. Serves 3 to 4.

Lucky you!

Is it pretty nasty outside already? It sounds like a big hurricane coming your way. Be safe and take care.

Thanks Akemi. Right now, we're in the people-in-frenzy-hoarding phase . . . doomsday preppers rushing to the stores to buy out all the bottled water.

My boss said he made this yesterday, but his one never turned out right (never sticked together). I'm assuming, because he doubled the recipe...idk. I shall try to make this one day LOL

jalna said...

Oh no, Mmiissee . . . wonder what happened. Wendell doubled the recipe too.

stove top makes the best meatballs, too!
stove top
1/2 C hot water
onion, diced
Worcestershire
hamburger

mix and roll (or I use cookie scooper) and bake at 375 for about 10-12 min. If you are throwing in sauce, you can partially cook and add.
