Not My Mam'a Meatloaf is an easy meatloaf recipe using a surprisingly simple ingredient, a boxed stuffing mix! All of the spices in the stuffing mix give this meatloaf a delicious flavor with a moist consistency.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 - 6 ounce package stove top stuffing mix
  • 1 - 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
  • 3 - tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 - beaten eggs
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped fine
  • few dashes of Lawry's seasoning salt
  • 1/2 -cup Ketchup
  • 1/2 - cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 - teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    In a food processor (or by hand) grind the stuffing mix until it's a fine crumb mixture. I don't like big chunks in my meatloaf. I add the crumbs to a large ziplock bag and roll my rolling pin over the bag to crush the stuffing mix.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, including the ground stuffing mix. For best results, do this by using your hands to mix the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Don't over mix or you will get a tough meatloaf! Mix until just combined and then press into a greased bread pan.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl combine the glaze ingredients and brush half of the glaze on top of the meatloaf.

  5. 5

    Bake at 375 degrees for 40 -50 minutes, or until juice runs clear and it's cooked through.

  6. 6

    Make sure to drain the loaf half-way through the baking. If you use a really lean burger, you won't have much to drain. Brush on the remaining glaze the last 5 minutes of baking.

  7. 7

    You can also use this recipe for meatballs or cook individual mini-loaves in greased muffin tins. Cool for 5 minutes and slice to serve.
