Full Recipe:
For the Meatloaf:
2 pounds ground beef (preferably 80/20 lean to fat ratio)
1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For the Glaze:
½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth.
Apply the Glaze: Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Rest Before Serving: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
