Ingredients

1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix

  • The magic ingredient! This packet brings all the rich savory flavor that makes the meatloaf so irresistible. It’s packed with seasoning and onion flavor, which infuses the meat and creates a beautifully moist loaf.

1 lb ground beef

  • The heart of any great meatloaf. You can go for 80/20 ground beef for the perfect balance of flavor and moisture. If you're aiming for a lighter version feel free to swap this for ground turkey or ground chicken. Either way, this will form the base of your meatloaf.

1 cup breadcrumbs

  • These help hold everything together while giving the meatloaf a bit of texture. You can use plain breadcrumbs or opt for seasoned breadcrumbs if you want to add an extra layer of flavor. For a gluten-free version try using almond flour or oats.

1 egg

  • A classic binding agent that helps to hold the meatloaf together. If you’re avoiding eggs you can use a flax egg or unsweetened applesauce as a substitute.

1/4 cup milk

  • This adds moisture and helps the meatloaf stay tender while baking. You can use whole milk for the richest flavor or swap in almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • This savory sauce is key to balancing the richness of the meat. It adds a subtle umami flavor that rounds out the taste of the meatloaf beautifully.

Salt and pepper

  • The essentials! A little salt and pepper will enhance all the flavors. Start with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper then adjust to taste.

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, start by adding all the ingredients:
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
  • 1 lb ground beef (or your choice of ground meat)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 2: Mix Everything Together

  • Use your hands to mix the ingredients until everything is evenly incorporated. It’s messy but fun—and trust me, it’s the best way to ensure all the flavors meld together! If you don’t like getting your hands dirty, feel free to use a spoon or spatula, but hands give you the most control.

Step 3: Shape the Meatloaf

  • Once your mixture is well combined, transfer it into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet. If you’re using a loaf pan, gently press the mixture into the pan to make sure it holds its shape. If you’re free-forming it on a sheet, aim for an even loaf shape, about 2-3 inches high.

Step 4: Bake the Meatloaf

  • Place the shaped meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). The exact time can vary depending on the size and thickness of your meatloaf, so it’s always best to check with a meat thermometer.

Step 5: Let It Rest

  • Once your meatloaf is out of the oven, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every slice is juicy and flavorful.
