# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, stuffing mix, eggs, and water. Mix gently until just incorporated to maintain a tender texture.
03 - Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape evenly into a loaf form.
04 - If desired, spread ketchup evenly over the top to create a classic glaze.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
06 - Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving to let juices redistribute.
