Meatloaf Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup plain or Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking during baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Mix all ingredients gently but thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Shape Loaf: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it evenly into the prepared loaf pan for uniform cooking.
- Add Ketchup Topping: Spread the ½ cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to add a sweet and tangy glaze while it bakes.
- Bake: Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) to ensure it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist and easier to slice.
Notes
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness to avoid under- or over-cooking.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Feel free to add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
