Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf Recipe
A classic and comforting dish, this Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf is easy to prepare and bursting with flavor. With just a handful of ingredients, this family favorite is perfect for busy weeknight dinners and can be paired with various sides for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef 80/20 for best flavor
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix 1.5 oz
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup water or milk
- 1/3 cup ketchup plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, water (or milk), ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Using clean hands, mix until just combined—overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.
- Shape the Meatloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
- Add a Ketchup Glaze: Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top for added flavor and caramelization.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Rest Before Slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing, allowing the juices to redistribute and keeping it moist.
Notes
- Leftover meatloaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For a twist, consider adding cheese or bacon for added flavor.
