Lipton Onion Soup Mix Meatloaf (Souperior Meatloaf Classic Recipe)

This Lipton Onion Soup Mix Meatloaf—also known as Souperior Meatloaf—is a beloved classic. Mix a packet of Lipton dry onion soup mix into beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, and savory flavorings for a juicy, flavorful meatloaf that needs minimal prep and delivers maximum comfort.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900 g) ground beef (80/20 chuck recommended for juiciness)
• 1 envelope (1 oz / ~28 g) Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• ¾ cup plain dry breadcrumbs or 1 cup cracker crumbs
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• ¾ cup water or milk (for moisture)
• ⅓ cup ketchup (plus extra for topping or glaze)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional but recommended)
• Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder or black pepper for seasoning
• Glaze (Optional):
• ½–¾ cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp garlic powder, onion powder, or mustard powder

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine eggs, Lipton soup mix, breadcrumbs, water (or milk), ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and any added seasonings. Gently mix in ground beef until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep it tender.
3. Shape & Pan Setup: Shape mixture into a loaf and place in a loaf pan or on a lined baking sheet. Lightly coat pan with oil or use foil for easy cleanup.
4. Bake Uncovered: Bake for about 60–75 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Check at ~50–60 minutes to avoid overbaking.
5. Apply Glaze (Optional): For a caramelized top, spread glaze over the meatloaf during the last 15–20 minutes of baking and return to oven.
6. Rest: Remove from oven and let rest, tented with foil, for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps juices redistribute and makes slicing easier.
