Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup chopped yellow onions
- 1 tsp black pepper
Glaze
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 1 ½ tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 ½ tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix the Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs ground beef, 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix, 2 beaten large eggs, 1 cup breadcrumbs, ¾ cup milk, ⅓ cup ketchup, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, ½ cup chopped yellow onions, and 1 tsp black pepper. Use clean hands to gently mix everything until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Shape and Bake: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the meatloaf bakes, mix together ¾ cup ketchup, 1 ½ tsp white vinegar, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 ½ tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, and ¼ tsp black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Glaze the Meatloaf: After the initial 45 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Spread the prepared glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Continue Baking: Return the glazed meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) ensuring it is cooked through.
- Rest: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices and make clean slices.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the meat mixture to keep the meatloaf tender, not dense.
- No additional salt is needed because the Lipton Onion Soup Mix contains enough seasoning.
- Resting the meatloaf after baking is essential for juiciness and clean slices.
