This 4 Ingredient Stove Top Meatloaf recipe has become one of my secret weapons on a busy soccer practice night. I have never made a “normal” meatloaf because every recipe I have ever read sounds like a lot of work, and I am a lazy cook during the week. So when I discovered how easy this was.

The first time I made this, I wasn’t sure the kids would eat this!! Once I got Isabella sold that it was Stove Top Stuffing Meatloaf, she was hooked!! I found this recipe on Pinterest at Dancing Through The Mindfield for the recipe!! She calls it Secret Ingredient Meatloaf in her house!!

The big win for this mom was that it is low in Weight Watchers Points, which meant it was also better for everyone in the house than some of our other favorite casseroles. I stock up every year at the end of the holidays on Stovetop, and it’s a staple in our house more than just the big dinners during the holiday times.

How To Make Stovetop 4 Ingredient Meatloaf Recipe:
Beat together the egg and 1 cup of water in a bowl.

Now my youngest Isabella loves to throw ketchup on her 4 Ingredient Stove Top Meatloaf, but Michael puts BBQ sauce on him to add more flavor.

looks awesome! great job!
Thelma Matthews says
I would cook meat loaf until it was fully cooked, and then drain any oils off that might of surfaced.
After draining the meat loaf i use this topping and put it on full length of meat loaf and bake until you see it sort of browning and bubbly. In the topping is a cup or more or catsup, equal amount of brown sugar . Mix these two items well and then pour over the meat loaf from side to side and end to end. Cook until you see it bubbling and beginning to get a little brown. You will never cook a meat loaf without this topping again. Or at least my family likes it that well.

What’s the temperature for the oven?
Tiffany says
She doesn’t include it, which is weird. But I searched Stove Top 4-ingredient meatloaf and a different recipe says at 350 degrees. I am going to try that and keep an eye on it. I plan to do the knife check to see if it comes clean and ad snore time as needed. Hope this helps.

Im gonna try this but with ground chicken, and I think milk would be better then water
Jenny says
Let me know how it turns out! I am wondering how the milk is going to work with the Stove Top.

Kat says
I use chicken both instead of water
Joey says
I have used this recipe for years I also have used it and made meatballs, baked in oven of course. It’s been my go to recipe for meat loaf. Used hamburger also in place of ground Turkey
Deborah Diana says
I put cranberry sauce on top of mine been making this for years.
Marie says
I made it but also added a grated zuccini. I also let the stovetop soak in 1 cup of milk instead of water and the egg for about 20 minutes to get it nice and soft. then I mixed it into the turkey with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 to 1 tsp epiciure sage and apple seasoning, 1 TBSP parsley flakes. Mixed it all together and then made a glaze with a mixture of ketchup and balsamic vinegar for the top
