Making pan-fried meatloaf is quick, easy and delicious. It’s a family favorite for many reasons. All the herbs and spices added from a single can of Stove Top stuffing make all the difference when it comes to a perfectly seasoned meatloaf recipe.
As strange as it may sound, I prefer to use the chicken-flavored Stove Stop stuffing in this meatloaf recipe, but the savory herbs are also a perfect choice. There are many flavors to choose from and all will work great.
With just a few ingredients, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite!
I like to use a lean 85/15% hamburger for this skillet meatloaf recipe, but if you prefer a higher fat content in your burger, it will work just fine. I find that using a 93/7% fat burger doesn’t have enough fat or liquid to moisten all the breadcrumbs.
The 85/15% gives just enough fat to add to the flavor, keep the meatloaf moist and not be heavy on the fat when it’s all done.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 package Stove Top stuffing (use one of your favorite flavors, I prefer chicken, but herbed savory is good too!)
- 1 cup of hot water
- 2 packages of brown gravy mix (one for the inside of the meatloaf and one for the top)
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 large eggs, beaten
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a medium bowl, add the stuffing mix and 1 cup of hot water.
- Let stuffing sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, mix 1 package of brown gravy with 1 cup of cold water.
- Add ground beef and egg, mix well (easiest to do with your hands, it’s gross, I know).
- After the stuffing has rested for 5 minutes, stir the stuffing mixture into the ground beef mixture.
- Grease a bundt pan with non-stick spray, then press the ground beef mixture into the pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until the inside is no longer pink.
- Once baked, let rest for about 5 minutes, then invert the pan onto a plate.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and brown gravy in the center of the meatloaf.
- Enjoy!
That’s it! It’s as easy as pie! If you’re not sure what to make for dinner, this pan stuffed meatloaf recipe is an easy one to make and everyone can enjoy it!
