Stovetop Stuffing Meatloaf

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1.5 pounds 80/20 ground beef
• 1 box chicken stuffing , 6 ounce
• 0.5 cups water
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 cup ketchup , divided
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8- x 4-inch loaf pan with a double layer of aluminum foil, leaving a 3-inch overhang on the long sides. Lightly coat with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Using your hands, mix beef, stuffing mix, water, egg, salt, poultry seasoning, and 1/2 cup of the ketchup in a large bowl until evenly combined without overmixing.

3. 3

   Press into the prepared loaf pan on the baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned and the sides are bubbly, about 35 minutes.

5. 5

   While meatloaf bakes, whisk together brown sugar and remaining 1/2 cup ketchup in a small bowl until smooth. Remove meatloaf from the oven and spread ketchup mixture evenly over the top.

6. 6

   Return to the oven and continue baking at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of meatloaf registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove meatloaf from loaf pan using foil overhang as handles, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 8 slices.
