Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 for best flavor and moisture)
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ½ cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Measure out ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, and chop or grate any optional fresh herbs or vegetables you plan to add.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef. Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the meat. Add eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, and a few tablespoons of ketchup. Mix gently with clean hands or a sturdy spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep meatloaf tender.
  3. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a rimmed baking sheet. Press gently to pack evenly but avoid compressing too tightly.
  4. Add Topping and Bake: Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top for a tangy glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after baking to let juices redistribute. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat mixture to avoid a tough meatloaf.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Customize the topping with barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or a ketchup-Worcestershire sauce blend.
  • A loaf pan shapes the meatloaf neatly, but a sheet pan works for a rustic style.
