Not only is this meal quick, but it’s one you can always have in your pantry, ready to mix up. I always seem to have ground turkey, onion soup mix, and a box of stuffing on hand.
How to Make 5 Ingredient Meatloaf:
This meatloaf only takes about 5 minutes to throw together then all you have to do is cook it. Start by mixing the stuffing and water in a large bowl and letting it sit for 2 minutes.
After the 2 minutes, mix the rest of the ingredients in. I’ve found that the best way to incorporate everything is to mix it with my hands!
Put it into a greased 9×9 dish and pat it down. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until cooked through.
Let it cool for 5 minutes and then dish it up with your family’s favorite sides.
My favorite way to make this meal is to prep it earlier in the day. Then, I cover it and put it in the fridge until I am ready to bake it.
Later on, while the kids do homework or I bathe the little ones, dinner is cooking. I feel like a rockstar mom when I can pull meatloaf out, hot, fresh, and delicious.
COOKING FOR A CROWD?
If you have a large family or you want leftovers for easy lunches during the week, simply double the recipe. Put it in a 9×13 pan. You may need to cook a little longer, just keep an eye on it and make sure you cook it thoroughly.
What to put on your Meatloaf:
If you’re looking for something to top your meatloaf with, gravy is definitely the traditional route. However, my kids love when I mix a little brown sugar into some ketchup and spread it on top of hot meatloaf.

My son loves meatloaf. I’ll have to make this sometime this week. It sounds delicious.
How would you convert this to a 9×13?
I would double everything and cook it a little longer. You might just have to watch it!
I just need to have you clarify the cook time. The top of the recipe card states that the cook time if 50 minutes. Lower in the instructions part, it states to cook it for 60-65 minutes. Fifteen minutes in a recipe can make a big difference. Sorry for the confusion.
UPDATE: I went ahead and made this recipe tonight and it turned out wonderful. It’s a KEEPER recipe for our family. I cooked it for 50 minutes, tested it, and it was perfectly done. Thanks for sharing all your yummy recipes!
This does sound tasty. I would nix the soup pack, since the stuffing would already have onions. They and I don’t get along too well.
I am wondering, though; can this be mixed and set aside for several hours before cooking? (Probably not because of the stuffing, but it doesn’t hurt asking.)
Thanks for publishing this recipe!

P.S. I’ll give it a try and rate it later.
You can make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge until cooking.
Sounds so different and good. Thank you.
It was delicious and so easy to prepare. I drizzled the top with ketchup mixed with brown sugar and it turned out great. This recipe is a keeper. Will be making it over and over again. Thank you!!
I had this! Made it with the turkey stuffing! Strong onion flavor but very good!! Could you use a different soup mix?
What can I substitute the eggs for I don’t have any eggs and what is the calories and serving size for the meat loaf
