Ingredients
Scale
Meatloaf Mixture
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
- Mix Soup Base: In a large bowl, combine the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, eggs, water, and 1/3 cup ketchup. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
- Add Meat and Breadcrumbs: Add the ground beef and bread crumbs into the bowl with the mixture. Gently mix until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
- Shape Meatloaf: Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a loaf pan or meatloaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, use a large baking dish lined with foil or sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Bake Meatloaf: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at 1 hour by inserting a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s fully cooked.
- Prepare Glaze: While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the glaze by combining 1 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and ground mustard in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves and the glaze is smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the meatloaf is cooked, brush the prepared glaze evenly over the top. Slice the meatloaf and serve warm for a comforting meal.
