Step 1

Combine stuffing mix and hot water in a large mixing bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In the meantime, combine ingredients for the sauce in a separate small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Stir soaked stuffing mix to break it up, then add beef and eggs. Mix to break up eggs and beef, then add 1/2 cup of the ketchup sauce and mix very well.

Step 4

Heat oven to 350°F. Pack meat mixture into a greased 5x9 inch loaf pan. Make sure to press down well to get an even, firm loaf.

Step 5

Top meatloaf with 1/2 of the remaining ketchup sauce, then bake for 45 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully remove from the oven and top with the remaining ketchup sauce. Bake for another 5-15 minutes, until no longer pink in the middle (a thermometer should read 160°F at the thickest part of the meatloaf).

Step 7

Let sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan and slice to serve.
