This post is all about how to make a traditional Lipton Meatloaf.

Making meatloaf is an American dinner staple that seems as old as time. But not all meatloaf recipes are equal, and I’m here to tell you why I found this original Lipton meatloaf to be the best!

If you’ve ever picked up a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix at the store, you’ve probably noticed the recipes they advertise on its box. Lipton meatloaf is one of those, and the ingredients and steps are straightforward.

Plus, there’s no chopping involved because the Lipton packet takes care of the seasonings, which means this dinner can be made fast. It does take about an hour to cook in the oven, but that will leave your home smelling delicious, just like a home-cooked meal should!

Lipton Meatloaf Recipe

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 Packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix

• 2 Pounds Ground Beef

• 3/4 Cup Plain Dry Bread Crumbs

• 2 Eggs

• 3/4 Cup Water

• 1/3 Cup Ketchup

Meatloaf Sauce Glaze Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup Ketchup

• 1/3 Cup Brown Sugar

• 2 Teaspoons Ground Mustard

Equipment Needed:

• Large Mixing Bowl

• Small Mixing Bowl (for glaze)

• Small Spatula or Spoon (for mixing glaze)

• Measuring Cups and Spoons

• Parchment Paper or No-Stick Cooking Spray

• 9 x 13 Baking Dish (I used a disposable pan for less clean-up)

• Oven

How To Make This Lipton Meatloaf Recipe, Step-By-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. You could also use a 9 x 13 disposable baking pan for less clean-up.

Step 2: Add the meatloaf ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Use clean hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly, but do not overmix.

Step 3: Add the meatloaf mixture to the 9 x 13 baking pan or dish. Shape the meat into a loaf.

Step 4: Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Step 5: While the meatloaf is baking, start making the meatloaf glaze. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, and ground mustard to a small mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon or small spatula.

Step 6: After 45 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Return the meatloaf to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.

Step 7: Once it’s finished baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

*Meatloaf Sides: I love serving this dish with steamed baby carrots and Lipton potatoes!

FAQs

What Is The Secret To Juicy Meatloaf?

To ensure a juicy meatloaf, buy ground beef at least 85% lean and 15% fat. A fat content lower than 15% may result in a dry meatloaf because there is less fat. Balancing the fat content and moisture (like the ketchup ingredient) is key.

How Do I Keep This Souperior Meatloaf From Drying Out?

Adding one egg per pound of meat adds moisture, preventing it from drying. Cooking the meat at 350 degrees F also ensures a moist meatloaf.

Final Thoughts On This Classic Lipton Meatloaf Recipe
