I got bored of regular red sauce meatloaf, so I combined my version of holiday stuffing and turned it into a meatloaf. This alternative is delicious and full of veggies and apples. Instead of using bread crumbs, crackers, or oatmeal, try Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing. Perfect for fall-winter comfort-style dinners. Pairs well with traditional mashed potatoes and dinner rolls. After experimenting several times over the course of a few years, I've come up with what I call 'Meatloaf Stuffing'. You can use ground beef if meatloaf meat is not available.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef , veal, and pork meatloaf meat mix
- 2 greens apples - peeled , cored, and diced
- 1 small white onion , diced
- 1 cup herb-seasoned stuffing mix , such as Pepperidge Farm Herb-Seasoned Stuffing
- 3 stalks celery , diced
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup , 10.5 ounce
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Mix together meatloaf meat, apples, onion, stuffing mix, celery, eggs, milk, water, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly combined.
-
3
Spread condensed soup into a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Spoon meat mixture into the loaf pan and use a spatula to gently flatten the top of loaf.
-
4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
5
Flip the pan upside-down onto a serving platter so condensed soup is on the top of loaf. Serve hot.

Quick, juicy burgers. My friends and I eat them at least once a week!
Buttermilk Cookies
These are a soft, delicious, sugar cookie but with a hint of buttermilk. A friend of mine gave this recipe to me years ago and my family loves them so much that I have a hard time keeping them in the cookie jar! You can sprinkle the tops of these with a little granulated sugar just before baking or ice after completely cooled.
