- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan.

- 4. Mix gently by hand or with a spoon until just combined.
- 5. Shape into a loaf and transfer to a prepared loaf pan or baking sheet.
- 6. Stir together remaining ketchup with a bit of brown sugar if desired, and spread over the top of the loaf.
- 7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- 8. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- 9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Let the stuffing mix fully absorb the milk before combining to ensure a tender texture.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness and avoid overcooking.
Resting the loaf after baking keeps it juicy and prevents crumbling.
