• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping, optional)

Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing

In a medium bowl, prepare the Stove Top stuffing according to the package instructions, using the milk and eggs. This will act as the binder for the meatloaf.

Step 3: Mix the Meatloaf

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked stuffing mixture, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4: Shape the Loaf

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it evenly.

Step 5: Add the Topping

In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard (if using). Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
