Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (Savory or Turkey flavor)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup ketchup or tomato sauce (for mixing)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (for glaze)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Stove Top Stuffing Mix, egg, water, and 1/2 cup of ketchup or tomato sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
- Press the meat mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze.
- Spread half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and pour the remaining glaze over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra moisture, substitute half of the ground beef with ground pork.
- If you prefer a classic topping instead of a glaze, mix 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon dry mustard and spread it on top for the last 20 minutes of baking.
- This recipe works well for making Meatloaf Cupcakes; divide the mixture into a muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.
