Description

This Lipton Onion Meat Loaf recipe combines savory ground beef with the classic flavor of Lipton onion soup mix, all slow-cooked to perfection. Easy to prepare and packed with comforting flavors, it’s an ideal hearty meal that can be made ahead and frozen for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat Loaf Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¾ cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 oz. packet Lipton onion soup mix
  • 2 lbs. ground beef (12% fat recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, milk, ketchup, breadcrumbs, and the Lipton onion soup mix. Stir together thoroughly using a spoon.
  2. Add ground beef: Using clean hands, add the ground beef to the bowl and gently mix it with the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.
  3. Shape the meatloaf: Form the mixture into an oval loaf shape directly inside your slow cooker.
  4. Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 hours, allowing the meatloaf to cook evenly and stay moist.
  5. Remove excess fat: After cooking, use a spoon to carefully ladle out and discard any fat that has accumulated around the meatloaf to reduce greasiness.
  6. Slice and serve: Cut the meatloaf into slices inside the slow cooker, being careful not to scratch the insert, then serve and enjoy.
  7. Freezing instructions: For freezer storage, prepare the meatloaf mix as directed. Place the mixture into a zip-lock freezer bag set inside a reusable foil pan to maintain shape. Remove excess air and seal the bag tightly. Freeze for up to one month.
  8. Cooking from frozen: Transfer the frozen meatloaf in its foil pan to the refrigerator for about 36 hours to thaw fully. Then, carefully flip the meatloaf into the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 hours, just like fresh.
