Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (preferably 80/20 mix for juiciness)
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix (dry)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (optional, for glazing)

Instructions

  1. Mix Your Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, entire packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix, egg, milk, and bread crumbs. Gently mix with your hands or a spatula just until evenly blended, taking care not to overwork the mixture to keep the meatloaf tender.
  2. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture into a baking pan and shape into an 8-inch long by 4-inch wide loaf. This shape helps the meatloaf cook evenly and achieve the classic appearance.
  3. Bake and Optional Glaze: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the meatloaf for about 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). During the last 15 minutes of baking, optionally brush the top with ketchup or your preferred glaze for a flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix ingredients to maintain a tender and moist texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is cooked perfectly without drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing to firm up and allow cleaner cuts.
  • Customize your glaze by mixing ketchup with brown sugar or mustard for added flavor complexity.
  • Use quality ground beef with some fat content (around 80/20) for best juiciness and flavor.
  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free breadcrumbs and confirming the soup mix is gluten-free.
  • Variations include swapping beef for ground turkey or chicken, adding finely chopped vegetables, or incorporating shredded cheese inside the loaf.
