Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend works best) 
  • 1 packet (1.9 oz) Lipton Onion Soup Mix 
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs 
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1/2 cup milk 
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping, optional) 
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional) 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, parsley, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
  • Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet.
  • Optional Topping: Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of the meatloaf for a tangy glaze.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Rest and Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  1. Meat Options: While ground beef is traditional, you can substitute it with ground turkey, chicken, or a beef-pork mixture for different flavors and textures.
  2. Moisture Matters: Avoid overmixing the meat mixture, as it can make the meatloaf dense. Adding milk ensures it stays moist and tender.
  3. Make it Ahead: Prepare the meatloaf mixture ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking to save time.
  4. Leftovers: Meatloaf slices make excellent sandwiches the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
