Take the work out of dinner and make your meatloaf with onion soup mix. This easy meatloaf recipe creates a tender, juicy meatloaf that's full of flavor and topped with a classic ketchup glaze. Serve it with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans for a perfect weeknight meal.
Prep. Preheat your oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil.
Make the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Set aside for later.
Mix the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat, egg, onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands or a fork to gently mix the ingredients.
Bake the meatloaf. Once your mixture is uniform, shape it into a loaf and place it on your prepared baking sheet. Spoon 1/2 of glaze on top of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for later.Bake your meatloaf for 45 – 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
Just like when you’re making meatballs, you want to be careful not to over mix or you’ll end up with tough meatloaf.
Glaze and serve. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and top it with the remaining glaze. Then, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
