Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 cups crushed seasoned stuffing
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs and dressing mix. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
  2. On a large piece of heavy-duty foil, pat beef mixture into a 10x8-in. rectangle. Combine the stuffing mix, celery, mayonnaise, water and curry powder; spoon down center of rectangle. Bring long sides over stuffing mixture, peeling foil away while folding. Seal edge and ends. Place seam side down in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan.
  3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat preserves; stir to break up pieces of fruit. Spread over the meat loaf. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and a thermometer reads 160°.
