Lipton Meatloaf Recipe

I grew up with this box. My mom used to make a version of this quick meatloaf recipe on almost a weekly basis. In the 80s I guess that meal was just normal and every body had their own version. She rarely made a lot of things from scratch but this was as semi-homemade as she did.

Fast forward to when I had my own family I just incorporated it into our meal planning too. Guess I was just so used to this dish that it was in my nature to make it a lot too. Of course now I cook it in all sorts of ways. Our Ninja Foodi meatloaf is incredible because it’s easy, fast and the air fryer gets the outside nice and crispy.

Ingredients

1. Large mixing bowl
2. Ground beef meat, ground turkey works too
3. Worcestershire sauce
4. Onion soup packet Lipton or store brand
5. Sour cream just a bit
6. Bread crumbs – or use oats like we do with our meatloaf without breadcrumbs
7. Eggs

Tips

When it comes to making this old fashioned meal I never saw my mom use a spoon, so I don’t either. It is just so much easier to ensure that everything is incorporated well if you use your hands. Yes, wash them before AND make sure you take your rings off first. Made that mistake before and boy was that a mess.

Substitutions

You can saute and add MORE onions into the mix, just throw them right in, or keep just the dehydrated onions in the packet only. What is the “weird” ingredient added to make it extra moist?

Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf

It’s sour cream y’all!! I know, may be different than anything else you may have tried but I bet you can imagine how that would add taste and make it really tender inside. This uses 2 pounds of meat. You could certainly cut this whole thing in half if you wanted to feed fewer people.

Many times I will think ahead though to the whole week. If I make this on Monday, I will know there will be some left. SO I’ll use one of my leftover meatloaf recipes like our Ninja Foodi spaghetti, meatloaf sandwiches or in ground beef egg rolls crumbled up. This is what you need to make this family favorite dish.

Salt and pepper are the given seasonings and you don’t need much more since your onion packet has quite a bit in it.
