Ingredients
Scale
Meatloaf:
- 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
Glaze:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare Glaze: While the meatloaf is baking, combine 1 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and ground mustard in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat and stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
- 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.
