Ingredients
Ground Beef (80/20) – 1 ½ pounds (24 oz): Provides the juicy base for your meatloaf. Opt for ground chuck or sirloin for best results.
Lipton Onion Soup Mix – 1 packet (1 oz): Adds flavor and moisture.
Breadcrumbs – 1 cup: Binds the mixture together and ensures a soft texture.
Egg – 1 large egg: Helps bind everything together and adds structure.
Milk or Broth – ¼ cup: Keeps the meatloaf moist during baking.
Optional Glaze:
- Ketchup – ¼ cup: Sweet and tangy topping.
- Brown Sugar – 1 tablespoon: Adds sweetness to the glaze.
Optional Flavor Boosters:
- Garlic – 1-2 cloves minced or 1 tsp powder for extra flavor.
- Worcestershire Sauce – 1 tablespoon for savory depth.
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk (or broth). Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the Meatloaf:
- Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Form the mixture into a loaf and place it into the pan, pressing it down gently.
Add Glaze (Optional):
- Spread a thin layer of ketchup or BBQ sauce on top. For a caramelized finish, sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45-60 minutes. Halfway through, you can add another layer of glaze if desired. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer—it should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Rest Before Serving:
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain its moisture.
