Stuffing Meat Loaf

"Sometimes I make this the night before and then just pop it in oven when I get home, gives the stuffing a chance to flavor the loaf more." Recipe submitted by Linda Washburn of Bronson, Michigan.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 (6-ounce) package stuffing mix, any flavor
1 large egg
1 cup hot water
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Cooking Directions:

1. In large bowl beat egg, toss stuffing crumbs in it. Add the hot water and let sit for about ten minutes to absorb the water.
2. Add the ground beef and mix well.
3. Shape into loaf and bake at 350°F (175°C) for one hour. Remove from oven and top with ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire that has been mixed well. Return to oven and bake another 10 minutes to set the topping.
