What You Need
Pepperidge Farm Stuffing Mix (or Stove Top Stuffing Mix)
​Lean Ground Beef
Evaporated Milk
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Worcestershire Sauce
Ketchup
Tips for Easy Stuff Meatballs
Use room temperature ingredients so everything blends smoothly in the large bowl. Cold ingredients can make the mixture harder to combine.
Do not over mix the meat mixture. Gentle mixing keeps the meatballs tender rather than dense like a meatloaf recipe.
For make ahead convenience, prepare and shape the meatballs, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bake the next day with the mushroom sauce for an easy dinner.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 1 1/2 quarter casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions and set aside.Â
Step 2: Mix 1 pound ground beef with 1/3 cup evaporated milk and combine well (using your hands works best). Flatten six (6) hamburger patties into 6" thin patties. Spoon prepared stuffing into the center of each patty. Draw up the edges and seal. Place meatballs in the prepared casserole dish.
