Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (about 1 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup bread crumbs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup ketchup (or tomato sauce for topping)

Optional Seasonings and Add-Ins

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Chopped bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini (for vegetable boost)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (for cheesy twist)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, eggs, bread crumbs, and milk. Use your hands or a spoon to gently combine everything until evenly mixed but not overworked to keep the meatloaf tender. Add optional seasonings or add-ins here if desired.
  3. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan or shape it into a loaf on the baking sheet. Pat it down evenly for consistent cooking and that classic meatloaf shape.
  4. Add the Glaze: Spread a generous layer of ketchup or your preferred glaze over the top. This adds flavor and helps keep the meat moist while baking.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the meatloaf for about 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in juices and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat and ingredients to preserve moisture and prevent a tough texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is cooked perfectly without drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest after baking to help the juices redistribute for a tender bite.
  • Customize your topping by mixing ketchup with brown sugar or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Baking in a loaf pan shapes the meatloaf neatly, while baking on a baking sheet creates crispy edges.
