Tasty Stove Top meatloaf combines ground beef with classic Stove Top Stuffing to make a super easy, moist meatloaf dinner! Add a few herbs, an egg, and some Worcestershire sauce for flavor. Then top it off with ketchup, tomato sauce, or your favorite BBQ sauce for a family-favorite meal!
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) and lightly grease the interior of your loaf pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
1 tablespoon olive oil
In a large mixing bowl add the 2 lbs ground beef, 6 oz Stove Top Stuffing mix, ¼ cup milk, 1 large egg, half of the 8 tablespoon ketchup, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon salt. Reserve 4 tablespoons of the ketchup (or tomato paste or BBQ sauce) for the topping.

Using clean hands or latex gloves, mix all ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated.
Put the meat mixture into your loaf pan, press it evenly throughout the pan. Go along the edges and push down with your fingers or a spoon to create a well.
Spread the remaining 4 tablespoon of 8 tablespoon ketchup(or tomato paste or BBQ sauce) over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for an hour or continue baking until meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C).
Remove from the oven and allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Be sure not to over-mix the ingredients – it could result in a dry, dense, or tough meatloaf.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will ensure that your meatloaf is juicy rather than dry.
Save the pan juices after you remove the cooked meatloaf from your loaf pan. Serve your meatloaf slices with the pan juices poured over them to maximize flavor and juiciness.
To feed a large gathering, double the recipe! Use 2x the ingredients, then transfer the meatloaf mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at a bit higher temp (375°F vs 350°F).
