Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (1.3 oz)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup ketchup or tomato sauce

Optional Add-Ins & Seasonings

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (1-2 tbsp)
  • Garlic powder (1/2 tsp)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Grated carrots, zucchini, or spinach (1/2 cup finely grated)
  • Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup)
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce (pinch, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients including ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, bread crumbs, egg, milk, and ketchup. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Mix the Meatloaf Base: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, bread crumbs, egg, and milk. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything evenly—just enough to blend the ingredients without overworking the meat to keep it tender.
  3. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet. Press gently so it holds its shape during cooking.
  4. Add the Topping: Spread a layer of ketchup or tomato sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf. This glaze adds flavor and keeps the top moist as it bakes.
  5. Bake Until Perfect: Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat ingredients to keep the meatloaf tender.
  • Allow meatloaf to rest after baking to preserve moisture when slicing.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 160°F to avoid overcooking.
  • Consider mixing ketchup with brown sugar or mustard for a flavorful glaze variation.
  • Skip added salt since Lipton onion soup mix contains sufficient seasoning.
