Do you have a favorite meatloaf recipe? I've enjoyed any number of delicious meatloaves this year: some beef, some turkey, some with sausage, some chock full of veggies, some with bacon, some with sauces. This list goes on. With 2 pounds of ground beef on hand and the desire to try yet another version of this family favorite, I logged on to the Kraft website and found this 5-ingredient meatloaf (and I had all 5) and decided to give it a go.
Serves 8 - 7 SP per serving
2 lb ground beef (I like 1 lb of 93% and 1 lb of 85% beef)
6 oz stuffing mix for chicken
2 eggs
1 cup water
3/4 cup BBQ sauce, divided
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the ground beef, stuffing mix, eggs, water, and 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce in a large bowl. Mix just until blended. Shape into loaf in a 13 X 9 inch baking dish. Top with remaining BBQ sauce. Bake 1 hour or until thermometer registers 160 degrees.
Tell me you can't waltz in the door and have dinner on the table easily with this one!

TASTE NOTES
I was skeptical of a recipe that called for no seasoning whatsoever, but being familiar with stuffing mix, I knew there'd be plenty of salt and pepper and some dehydrated spices. Before you turn up your nose at this one, let me tell you it was absolutely delicious. Moist and flavorful, the only change I'd make would be to add a bit more BBQ sauce. You'll love it sliced thin for sandwiches and you can slice and freeze any leftovers if, like me, you cook for 2.
