Ingredients

1 ½ lbs lean ground beef - or beef/pork blend
1 box stove top stuffing mix - any flavor will work
1 cup diced onion - chop as small as possible
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
¾ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray (to prevent sticking).
Add 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef, 1 box stove top stuffing mix, 1 cup finely diced onion, 2 eggs, and ⅓ cup milk to a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. The egg and milk should be evenly coated with the ground beef.
Lightly spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray and pack in the ground beef mixture. Then flip the loaf pan to place the meatloaf on the baking sheet (without the loaf pan). Using a baking sheet creates a more crispy meatloaf crust.
Bake uncovered and without the sauce for 40 minutes.
While meatloaf is baking, make the sauce in a bowl by mixing ¾ cup ketchup and 1 Tbsp white vinegar. Once the meatloaf has cooked for 40 mins, remove from oven and top it with the ketchup glaze.
Place back in the oven and bake 10-30 minutes, or until fully cooked and beef is no longer pink inside. A meat thermometer is the easiest way to tell when meatloaf is done. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving so that the internal juices distribute evenly.

Recipe Notes:

Refrigerate - Cooled meatloaf can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Reheat Leftovers - Leftovers can be heated in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Freeze - Consider doubling this recipe to make two meatloaf at the same time, and freeze one for later. First, wrap it in foil and then store in a large freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and freeze for up to 6 months.

Reheat from frozen - Frozen meatloaf wrapped in foil can be baked at 350°F for 30-40 minutes. Spread fresh ketchup sauce topping in the last 10 minutes before serving.
