Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Add eggs, water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Mix gently.
- Incorporate ground beef and mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- Shape into a loaf in the prepared pan or freeform on a sheet.
- Whisk glaze ingredients and spread half over the meatloaf.

- Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender. Rest before slicing to retain juices. For a healthier version, try ground turkey and low-sodium soup mix.
