Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare Bread Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, place the torn bread pieces. Add the dry stuffing mix and milk. Allow it to sit until most or all of the milk is absorbed.

Add Eggs: Crack the eggs into the bowl, then combine all ingredients together with the meat mixture.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve an even consistency throughout the mixture.
-
Form Loaf: Transfer the meat mixture into a baking pan, shaping it into one large loaf or smaller individual loaves, depending on your preference.
-
Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until it’s cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
-
Broil the Top: During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, switch the oven to broil and move the meatloaf closer to the broiler to brown the top. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
-
Serve: Once the meatloaf is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy the hearty flavors!
