02 - In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef, stuffing mix, eggs, and chosen liquid until just combined without overworking.
03 - Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, shaping it evenly with gentle pressure.
04 - Spread ½ cup ketchup or barbecue sauce over the top for additional flavor, if desired.
05 - Bake uncovered for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the loaf is fully cooked.
06 - Allow the loaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
