Ingredients
– 1 box of Stove Top Stuffing Mix (any flavor you prefer)
– 1 ½ lbs ground beef (I like to use 80/20 for that perfect balance of flavor and juiciness)
– 1 cup of water
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– ½ teaspoon of black pepper
– Optional: Ketchup or BBQ sauce for topping
Equipment Needed
– Large mixing bowl
– Baking dish or loaf pan
– Measuring cups
– Chopping knife and cutting board
– Spoon or spatula for mixing
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). The first step is to prepare your stuffing mix according to the package instructions. I like to add a cup of water and let it sit for a few minutes, so the stuffing becomes light and fluffy while I mix the other ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The aromas from the spices are already starting to make my kitchen smell amazing!
