Course: Main Course
Keyword: cheap, dinner, easy meals, family dinners, few ingredients, ground beef, stuffing
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 box Stove Top Stuffing (any flavor)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (or more if you'd like)
  • 1/2 cup water (or a little more if your beef is super lean)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bread loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry stuffing mix, ground beef, eggs, water and HALF of the ketchup.
  • Fill the prepared pan with your mixture and use your hands to evenly squish it down into the pan.
  • Top it with the remaining ketchup and spread it evenly over the top. You can also use BBQ sauce, chili sauce, or a combination of sauces.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes (it takes about 50 minutes in my oven).
  • Enjoy! I'd wait a few minutes before slicing it up. Serve with mashed potatoes, veggies, salad, or anything thing else you'd like.

Notes

Add anything else to the mixture that you happen to have on hand like chopped onions, garlic, cheese, spices, herbs, etc. This is the base recipe, and really all you need, but there's no harm in making it your way.
