Instructions
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and Lipton Onion Soup Mix.
- Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, and milk. Gently mix with your hands or a spoon.
- Pour in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3: Shape the Meatloaf
- Transfer the mixture onto a baking sheet and shape it into a loaf. If using a loaf pan, press the mixture in evenly.
- If making the glaze, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard in a small bowl. Spread it over the top of the meatloaf.
Step 4: Bake the Meatloaf
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes.
- Check for doneness using a meat thermometer—the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 5: Let It Rest & Serve
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it juicy!
- Slice and serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
Notes
💡 Notes & Tips
✅ Don’t overmix the meat! Overworking it can make the meatloaf dense and tough.
✅ Prefer a leaner version? Use ground turkey or chicken, but add an extra egg or a little olive oil for moisture.
✅ Want a gluten-free version? Swap the breadcrumbs for almond flour or gluten-free oats.
✅ Make it in an air fryer: Shape a smaller loaf and cook at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, checking for doneness.
✅ Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
