Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon ground mustard

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, eggs, water, and 1/3 cup ketchup. Mix until well combined.
3. Step 3: Add the ground beef, bread crumbs, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
4. Step 4: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan or a meatloaf pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, use a large baking dish lined with foil or sprayed with cooking spray.
5. Step 5: Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, checking at the 1-hour mark. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F.
6. Step 6: While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the glaze by warming 1 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and ground mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
7. Step 7: When the meatloaf is done, brush the glaze evenly over the top. Slice and serve warm for a delicious meal.

Tips & Variations

• For extra moisture, substitute half of the ground beef with ground pork or turkey.
• Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions into the meat mixture for added texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier glaze, mix in a teaspoon of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Use gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed crackers to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Storage

Store leftover meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave slices covered with a damp paper towel or warm them in a preheated oven at 300 degrees F until heated through. You can also freeze cooked meatloaf for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this meatloaf without the Lipton Onion Soup Mix?

Yes, you can substitute the onion soup mix with a combination of dried onions, beef bouillon, onion powder, and garlic powder to achieve a similar flavor.

Using a meat thermometer ensures the meatloaf reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F and prevents undercooking or drying out, making it highly recommended.

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Glaze:

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients and Soup Mix: In a large bowl, combine the Lipton onion soup mix, eggs, water, and 1/3 cup ketchup. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
3. Add Ground Meat and Breadcrumbs: Add the ground beef and bread crumbs to the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meatloaf, which could make it dense.
4. Shape Meatloaf: Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape. Place the loaf in a loaf pan or meatloaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Alternatively, you can use a large baking dish lined with foil or treated with non-stick spray.
5. Bake Meatloaf: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Start checking at the 1-hour mark. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption.

7. Apply Glaze and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the warm glaze over the top. Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

• Check the internal temperature of the meatloaf with a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for food safety.
• Use non-stick spray or foil lining to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
• The glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish but can be adjusted to taste by modifying the amount of brown sugar or mustard.
• For a lower fat version, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or lean beef.
• Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps retain its juices and improves texture.
