This delicious Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf comes together in about 60 minutes and is baked to perfection for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that your family will love!
Ingredient Breakdown
Here’s what you’ll need for this comforting meatloaf:
1 ½ pounds ground beef: Preferably an 80/20 mix for that perfect balance of flavor and juiciness. If you want to lighten it up a bit, lean beef works too, but you’ll need to watch for moisture.
1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix (dry): The magic ingredient! It adds so much flavor and takes this meatloaf from good to absolutely irresistible. You could also try different flavors or brands if you’re feeling adventurous!
1 large egg: This helps bind everything together. It’s basically the glue of the meatloaf.
½ cup milk: I like to use whole milk for richness, but you can totally substitute it with skim or almond milk. It keeps the meatloaf moist and tender.
¾ cup bread crumbs: Traditional white bread crumbs work great! You can use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed, or even crushed crackers if that’s what’s hanging out in your pantry.
¼ cup ketchup (optional, for glazing): A bit of ketchup on top gives it a sweet, tasty finish. You can also use barbecue sauce or even a homemade glaze if you’re feeling fancy!
How to Make Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf
Alright, let’s get cooking! This meatloaf is super straightforward, so don’t worry!
Mix it all up (about 10 minutes):
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, the entire packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix, the egg, milk, and bread crumbs. Get in there with your hands or use a spatula, just mix until it’s all blended. You don’t want to overwork the mixture; otherwise, the meatloaf can end up a bit tough. Just a couple of minutes are all it needs!Shape it up (around 5 minutes):
Transfer the meat mixture to a baking pan (I like using a loaf pan, but a baking sheet works too) and shape it into an 8-inch long by 4-inch wide loaf. This helps it cook evenly and looks lovely once it’s cooked. Plus, it gives those classic meatloaf vibes that we all adore!Bake to perfection (around 60 minutes):
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, place your beautifully shaped meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when a meat thermometer is inserted. In the final 15 minutes of baking, feel free to brush a layer of ketchup (or whatever glaze you’re using), trust me when I say it adds tons of flavor! You’ll know it’s done when your kitchen smells heavenly and the top is all glossy and inviting!
Before you take it out, let it rest for a few minutes after cooking, that way, the juices can redistribute, ensuring a juicy slice every time you dig in.

Plus, the best part is absolutely how simple it is to make. So, if you’ve had a long day or just need a satisfying meal that doesn’t require a ton of time or effort? This is it! Your family will absolutely love every bite.
