### **Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the oven** to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Mix the ingredients** in a large bowl: ground beef, dry stuffing mix, eggs, broth (or water), and ketchup. Mix until just combined — don’t overwork it.
3. **Shape the loaf** and transfer to your prepared pan. Press gently to shape.
4. **Optional but delicious:** Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top for that classic, tangy glaze.
5. **Bake for 45–55 minutes**, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
6. **Rest for 5–10 minutes** before slicing and serving.
