Instructions

In a bowl, combine stuffing mix and warm milk; let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
In a separate bowl, mix ground beef, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until just combined.
On parchment, press half the meat mixture into a rectangle. Layer with stuffing, leaving borders. Top with remaining meat, sealing edges.
Spread ketchup on top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–65 minutes or until internal temp reaches 160°F.
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Add extra ketchup, if desired.

Notes

Mini muffin versions make fun, handheld appetizers.
Store-bought cranberry sauce is a tasty holiday topping.
Substitute ground turkey or gluten-free stuffing mix as needed.
Fold sautéed carrots, celery, or mushrooms into the stuffing for extra veggies.
