This Quick And Easy Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf Recipe is hearty and flavorful, using a combination of ground beef and pork and a deliciously sweet and tangy glaze. It's an easy meatloaf recipe the whole family will love.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine all meatloaf ingredients - 1 pound ground beef, 1 pound ground pork, a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, 2 large eggs, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, ¾ cup of milk, ⅓ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ cup chopped yellow onions, and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper - in a large bowl. Using clean hands mix well to combine. (Don't overmix!)
Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and add to the prepared baking pan.
Bake the Lipton Onion Soup meatloaf in the oven for 45 minutes.
While the meatloaf is baking, make the meatloaf sauce. In a small bowl, add all the ingredients for the sauce - ¾ cup ketchup, 1 ½ teaspoon white vinegar, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 ½ teaspoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper - and stir well with a spoon. At the 45-minute mark, remove the meatloaf and spread the sauce over the meatloaf.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. Tent the cooked meatloaf with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting it into individual slices and serving.
Notes
Don't overmix! Overmixing the meatloaf can cause it to be too dense and very rubbery.
Use your hands. It may feel gross (I know!) but I truly think mixing the ingredients with your hands is the easiest way to make sure you're incorporating all the delicious flavors into each bite. Just make sure you clean them well before mixing!
Allow the meatloaf to rest. Letting the meatloaf rest will help it hold it's shape better, and will also ensure it stays juicy, since cutting into the meatloaf right away causes all the moisture to drain out. Allow the meatloaf to rest to let it reabsorb all it's juicy goodness. (Also, if Martha says so, we must listen!)
