Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the cornbread stuffing mix and milk. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the stuffing to absorb the liquid.
2
Once the milk is absorbed, crack in two eggs and mix to combine.
3
Add the ground beef, chopped onion, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and steak sauce to the bowl.
4
Using your hands, gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Transfer the meat mixture to a casserole dish or loaf pan and form it into a loaf shape.
6
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
7
While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar until smooth.
8
After 1 hour, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Spoon the glaze evenly over the top.
9
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
10
Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Mix the stuffing and milk together first to let it soften before combining with the meat—this ensures even moisture distribution throughout the loaf.
Don't overmix the meat mixture; combine ingredients just until incorporated to avoid a dense, tough meatloaf.
Let the finished meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing to retain juices and make serving easier.
For a caramelized glaze, brush it on during the last 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent burning while developing flavor.

Substitutions

Cornbread stuffing mix → Traditional herb-seasoned stuffing mix (similar texture; slightly different flavor profile)
Steak sauce → Worcestershire sauce mixed with ketchup (equal acidity and depth)
80/20 ground beef → 85/15 ground beef (leaner; may be slightly drier)
Milk → Beef broth (adds savory depth instead of richness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat slices in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
