Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds (907 g) ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- 1 packet (28 g) lipton onion soup mix
- ¾ cup (90 g) breadcrumbs (plain or italian-style)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) ketchup (plus extra for topping)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk or water
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce (optional)
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation Setup: Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a loaf pan with a light coating of grease or a parchment paper lining.
- Mixture Fusion: In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until ingredients are just incorporated without excessive stirring.
- Shaping and Roasting: Carefully transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, sculpting an uniform loaf shape and generously brushing the surface with additional ketchup for a rich, caramelized glaze. Slide the pan into the preheated oven and roast for 50-60 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches a safe 160F (71C) for perfectly cooked meatloaf.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing ingredients to keep the meat tender and moist. Gently combine ingredients just until they’re incorporated.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches 160F internally, preventing undercooking while maintaining juiciness.
- Experiment with different ground meats like turkey or a blend of beef and pork for diverse taste profiles and dietary preferences.
- Try alternative glazes like BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or brown sugar-based marinades to add unique flavor dimensions beyond traditional ketchup.
