Pro Tips for the Best Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf

First, soak the stuffing mix before adding beef because dry stuffing absorbs moisture during baking and can create a crumbly texture.

Second, mix the meat gently with your fingertips instead of a spoon because compressed beef produces a dense finished meatloaf.

Third, place a small pan of hot water on the oven’s lower rack to help maintain moisture while the meatloaf bakes evenly.

Finally, brush a thin extra layer of ketchup during the last ten minutes for a glossy glaze.
