Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup yellow onion, minced
- 1 rib celery, very finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup water
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 (6 oz.) box chicken stovetop stuffing mix, chicken or turkey
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1 ½ lbs. ground beef, 80% lean
- ½ lb. ground pork, see notes
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- Salt/pepper, to taste
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, and soften while stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the remaining butter along with the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil and add the stuffing mix. Lower the heat and stir until combined, then remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the whisked eggs and transfer to a large bowl.
- Season ground beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the bowl with the stuffing mixture. Add the ground pork and mustard, stirring until evenly mixed without overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased loaf pan. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
- Take out the loaf and use a pastry brush to apply half of the glaze on top.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving with mashed potatoes.
Notes
Ground pork can be substituted with ground turkey for a leaner option.
Resting the meatloaf is crucial to retain moisture; do not skip this step.
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs such as thyme or parsley to the meat mixture.
