SPECIAL FRENCH ONION SOUP STUFFED MEATLOAF

SPECIAL FRENCH ONION SOUP STUFFED MEATLOAF

After years of making meatloaf the old-fashion way (bread crumbs, ketchup, onions, eggs, and a number of other things), I love the simplicity of this recipe. I’ve been making it once a weeks for several months now, and everyone loves it … What I really love is it’s consistent great taste every time it goes on the table, even if I’m not home to make it. I never have found beef flavored stuffing mix, so I use Stove-Top Pork flavored (I don’t bother crushing it, I just dump it in with the eggs and soup and stir it a minute or so). Since I have a tendency to forget to set the timer on the oven, I use a temperature gauge with an alarm on it, so there is no guess work as to whether it is done or not … Comes out perfect every time.Makes great meatballs for spaghetti or Swedish meatballs, etc. Roll them up and toss them in the oven for 15 minutes or so and you are good to go.

I used Savory Herb stuffing mix instead of beef. Turned out pretty good but this will not be replacing my favorite meatloaf recipe. It is an excellent go to recipe if you don’t have a lot of time to spend on preparation.

Very easy to make and tasted great! I was not able to find beef-flavored stuffing, so I went with sage and it turned out excellent! Looking forward to having this one again.

I love this recipe. My husband is the meatloaf lover of the house and I am the meatloaf hater. But I can learn to love meatloaf if it is moist and flavorful like this one. I have made this several times and each time I either used savory herbs or traditional sage.

My family loves this! My husband request this often. It makes great sandwiches the next day. Even the “meatloaf haters” in our house love this!

I made this the other night for dinner and my whole family loved it!!! I used pork stovetop stuffing and it was so good. Im putting it on my list of dinners to cook.

Place pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the sauce (see below).
Remove pan from oven, pour the sauce over the meatloaf, and sprinkle with the reserved onions nd cheese.
Return meatloaf to oven 15-20 minutes, or until no pink remains. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbly …
