Easy Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf

This is my version of Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf recipe. I am not a big lover of well done ground beef but I make this for my husband whenever I don’t want to eat supper. It has been his favorite meatloaf since I have known him, he loves the leftovers too. Do you make this meatloaf recipe too? I only do one thing different and it really enhances the flavor. I bet you can’t figure out what it is!

Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray a meatloaf pan (I use a bread pan) with cooking oil.

In a large bowl combine ground beef with one pouch of Lipton Onion soup (Dry mix).

Add the bread crumbs and stir just until combined.

In a small bowl whisk together the egg, water and ketchup. Add it to the ground beef stirring just until combined.

Place the mixture into your prepared baking dish keeping the top level.

Bake for 55 minutes.

I like to use a clean paper towel and pat the grease from the top of the meatloaf. I also use a paper towel to absorb any in the bottom by tilting the pan.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes, slice and serve.
Did you figure out what I did different from the actual Lipton recipe other than I made one loaf instead of two?
The answer is I used the entire pouch of Lipton seasoning, I didn’t cut that in half. My husband loves the added flavor.

As usual, Diane, you’ve shared a recipe that makes my mouth water. I’m with your husband. I love meatloaf and this one looks so easy. Thanks for sharing, hugs, C
You’re welcome Cheryl and thank you for your nice comment!
I’ve never made meat loaf and it is not on Jackie’s repertoire. I’m not sure I’d like the ketchup. I don’t know Liptons but I do like onion soup.
https://indianeskitchen.com/2018/02/26/homemade-onion-dry-soup-mix/ This link is my homemade dry onion soup mix that is very similar to Liptons. The ketchup adds flavor but it’s not noticeable to me. My husband puts so much ketchup and mustard on his meatloaf I doubt he would notice. Lol
Thank ou very much, Diane
You’re welcome Derrick.
Lovely recipe. As I’m vegetarian I can substitute but as I’m the UK I haven’t heard of Liptons but I’m sure there is onion powder available in the supermarket. Can’t wait to try and make this one.
Here is my homemade onion soup mix that is very similar to the Lipton we buy at the store.

Thank you so much, Diane. x
You are very welcome Adele!
Diane, I am so so about meatloaf, but my husband really likes it. Especially cold meatloaf sandwiches. Yuck! But, I am going to make this for dinner sometime. It sounds good, but no cold leftover meatloaf sandwiches for me. 🙂
I am just like you Betty, well done ground beef is not something I enjoy. I made wings in the air fryer and my hubby gets the meatloaf all himself.
Meat loaf isn’t something I’ve ever seen or had here in the uk, but it seems an easy enough recipe, I might give it a go.
I haven’t put the onion soup mix in meatloaf but I like to do a roast in the crockpot and add the onion soup mix, a can of coke and a bottle of Chili sauce, it’s very tasty !
I bet that is delicious! I used to make one with coke but I stopped drinking it so I haven’t made it in a long time. I will have to give yours a try!
Mom used to make this – I liked it and it made nice sandwiches the next day. Her other version was “lasagna meatloaf” with cottage cheese and cheese … also yummy.
Terry would kill me if I put cottage cheese in his favorite meatloaf. 🤣
It is really tasty Diane, but it does not use the Lipton’s Onion Soup at all, so it has more of a tomato-ey taste and with Italian seasonings. My mom’s version did not use lasagna noodles, but it was very cheesey and moist. I don’t think I’d like noodles in between my meatloaf to be honest.
That is fascinating, I have never heard of a recipe like that, is sounds delicious!
I will look for it in my mom’s recipe binder and see if she wrote it down. You would like it I’m sure. No lasagna noodles in it and it smelled wonderful.
Thank you!
I always put onion soup mix in my hamburgers, but use my grandma’s meatloaf recipe and I don’t think powdered soups were around back then. 😆
What a great idea Carla and I bet that adds a ton of flavor! We buy hamburger patties premade or I would try that. We buy half a cow every year and I get about #35 of ground beef, but my husband loves Sam’s club burgers so much that he said to stop having burgers made with our side of beef meat. 🤷🏽♀️
Everyone has their favourites. I sometimes buy the ones from Costco, but every now and then, I want my own homemade ones.
I think it is an entirely different taste when we make our own. I think what he likes is they are 3/4” thick from Sam’s Club. Have a great week Carla!
Sounds good. Funny coincidence is that while waiting in line at the grocery store, I overheard a conversation about meatloaf that a lady was going to make for a Saturday gathering. It must be a comfort food during these cold days!
What a coincidence and I definitely think it is comfort food for my husband.
This looks delicious, Diane.
Lipton onion soup mix reminds me of my Ma, who made fish with it. Layer mayo across a fillet of fish and then sprinkle on onion soup mix. It’s delicious too.
Oh yes, perfect recipe! I do the same thing with potatoes, cut them into 1” cubes (toss with a little oil instead of mayo) and bake in the oven, so good. Thank you Ab and I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much!
At first I thought you were using tea in your meatloaf – Lipton is a tea brand here in South Africa and one of my favourites (besides Rooibos tea). We’ve never made meatloaf (can you believe it?) … maybe I should try your easy recipe!
No way you never made meatloaf!!! Lipton Tea is here as well, which we buy, but they also have this boxed 2 pack of onion soup mix. Here is a homemade copycat version of the dry soup mix. https://indianeskitchen.com/2018/02/26/homemade-onion-dry-soup-mix/
I have been craving meatloaf- if that is even a thing! I think I am in need of a cozy meal that is not made in a crockpot. I am sick of crockpot food. But this is perfect! Maybe tonight!
I hope you made it and enjoyed it. I agree, sometimes you just need to have food cooked a certain way. That’s why I use the air fryer, slow cooker, oven and stove top.
Very inventive! I would not have thought of that combo, but I can see how it would work well together. Adding Lipton soup mix to my shopping list…
This recipe was on the box of Lipton dry onion soup mix for years. It is still on the website and this is the only way my husband wants me to make his meatloaf.
Oooh now I am craving a second day on meatloaf sandwich!
Haha It is always better the next day.
