Stuffing Meatloaf

  4.4 – 30 reviews  

When you add rich, creamy burrata cheese, caprese salad is even more delectable. Sharing this with friends is a fantastic way to start the summer.

The recipe as is was under seasoned for us. Second time I added a package of ranch dressing mix. Thyme, Wooster sauce, milk to soften the stuffing. Sauce on top and no cheese. Turns out perfect.
John Smith
It was amazing. The only thing different is I put Ketchup on top instead of cheese. It’s an easy meal to make for during the work week.
Molly Hernandez
This was ok. My family ate it but didn’t love it. They thought the texture was a bit off.
Tanya Hinton
i didint try it

Good if you need a quick recipe with little Ingradients. I used it as a base recipe to make meatloaf sliders. It needs seasoning. I added season all, salt pepper, garlic powder, westishire(not sure how to spell it), a touch of milk, quarter cup Ketchup in the meat, more stove top to combine wet ingredients and an extra egg.

It was very good and the meat was juicy best recipe for meatloaf I have made so far. I add chopped onion rather than a whole onion by it still tasted great!
Leonard Johns
I have made this many times now and everyone who has tried it loves it! The only thing I do differently is that I use Sweet Italian sausage. I use 4 pounds of ground meat, chop a large onion , 2 packages of stuffing mix, 2 eggs, and 2 cups of shredded cheese. This makes 3 meat loaves. I bake all 3 and freeze 2 of them. Very handy!
Tamara Fisher
I made this it turned out wonderful. I added garlic and topped it with sautéed Cremini and Portabella mushrooms. I had to use them before they went bad so I decided to improvise. Of course I added the mozzarella as well. I just can’t help but tweaking recipes. I will definitely use this as my go to meatloaf recipe.
Andrea King
It was delicious. I put a little ketchup & mustard in it. When it was almost done, I put more ketchup & mustard on top, then put it back in oven for another 10 minutes. So good!! Not much left over.
Thomas Roberts
Very good! Added a little ketchup to the mixture and didn’t use cheese. Topped with ketchup for last 5 min of baking! Loved it!
Kimberly Williams
This was good and very similar to No Fuss Meatloaf on Taste of Home. I think I like the No fuss one a little better.
Kristen Martin
I made this with a couple of adjustments. I mixed half and half ground beef and ground pork. I added a pkg of onion soup mix and I presoaked the bread crumbs with some milk to soften them before adding it to the meat. Its a great receipe.
Jared Parks
Was very tasty. I didn’t have fresh onions so I added dried onions and italian seasoning. Also added an extra egg, 1/4 cup of water and some sweet baby rays. No cheese on top put sweet baby rays on top last 15 minutes instead.
Mark Peterson
I wish it included a sauce, because for me, what makes a great meatloaf is the sauce, but very good recipe regardless. I experimented a little bit – I soaked the whole box of stuffing in a little bit of milk to make it moist. – I made a sauce of ketchup, Worcestershire, low sod. soya sauce, garlic, and a little bit of mustard and put it on before cooking, and 2tsp into the mixture – I also mixed half the cheese into the meat mixture, then put the rest on top in the last 10 mins of cooking
Nicole Hernandez
I loved this recipe just tweaked it a little used a little onion powder, garlic salt, and a quarter cup of ketchup spread thinly on top.
Katherine Bush
Only 3*s for the ‘original’ recipe. It lacked flavor, & I didn’t care for the texture. The next time I made it, I did this: I used 90/10% Ground Sirloin, added 1/3 C. finely diced Bell Pepper (U can use red OR green, but red is a bit sweeter). I also added 1/3 C. of Evaporated Milk (so that the Meatloaf wouldn’t be so dry), and 2 Tbsp. of Lipton Onion Soup Mix (for more flavor). I omitted the cheese on top, but topped off the Meatloaf with plain old ketchup, ’cause that’s what we like.
Gregory King
Quick and easy base to start with. I like a bit more flavor, so add Worcestershire sauce. I also skip the cheese and coat the top with ketchup before putting in the oven because that is how we like it 🙂
Deborah Gardner
This was very tasty. Followed the recipe 100%. Next time, and there will be a next time, instead of cheese on top, I will use catsup/brown sugar. Just our preference.
Susan Ortiz
My entire family (3 young adults and a husband), all who love good food- LOVE this meatloaf! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Chad Hoffman
I added on large jalapeno pepper and 1/2 cup of chili sauce.
Charles Campos
Do you make the stuffing mix first, or use it dry?
