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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for cooking the meatloaf evenly.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, eggs, water, and 1/3 cup ketchup until the mixture is well combined and uniform in texture.
  3. Add Meat and Bread Crumbs: Add the ground beef and bread crumbs to the wet mixture. Mix gently until everything is just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
  4. Shape Meatloaf: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf form. Place it in a loaf pan or meatloaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, or use a large baking dish lined with foil or sprayed for easy cleanup.
  5. Bake the Meatloaf: Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Begin checking the meatloaf at 1 hour to prevent overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature has reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for safe consumption.
  6. Prepare Glaze: While the meatloaf bakes, combine 1 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and ground mustard in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat and stir continuously until the brown sugar has dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Once the meatloaf is cooked, brush the prepared glaze evenly over the top. Slice the meatloaf and serve hot, enjoying the perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.

Notes

  • You can use either a loaf pan or a baking dish lined with foil for easier cleanup.
  • Checking internal temperature is key to avoid undercooked or overcooked meatloaf.
  • Leftover meatloaf can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 3 days.
  • Add finely chopped vegetables like onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and moisture if desired.
  • Use whole wheat bread crumbs for a healthier twist.
