    Meatloaf with Onion Soup Mix recipe.

    Meatloaf with onion soup mix is easy to make with ground beef, onion soup mix, and a tangy balsamic ketchup glaze.

    This easy recipe is sure to become a family favorite. If you crave a great meatloaf recipe for the whole family to enjoy on busy weeknights, this is it!

    Meatloaf with Onion Soup Mix.

    What is it?

    This meatloaf recipe with onion soup mix is a hybrid of my popular brown sugar meatloaf and the classic Lipton onion soup mix meatloaf recipe.

    Using a dry onion soup mix packet as the secret ingredient gives this easy meatloaf a wonderful onion flavor. The flavor is further enhanced with simple ingredients such as Worcestershire sauce and Parmesan cheese. Finally, the onion soup mix meatloaf is finished off with a tangy balsamic ketchup glaze.

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    Ingredients for Meatloaf with Onion Soup Mix recipe.
    • Ground beef - I recommend 80/20 beef, or 85/15. Overly lean ground beef will create a dry meatloaf, and meat that is too fatty will yield a greasy meatloaf.
    • Packet dry onion soup mix - One envelope of Lipton onion soup mix is recommended. This is the key ingredient and should not be substituted (although you can use a different brand of onion soup mix if desired).
    • Plain breadcrumbs - You can substitute panko bread crumbs. You can also make meatloaf without breadcrumbs in a pinch.
    • Grated Parmesan cheese - Shredded Parmesan is fine to substitute.
    • Large eggs - Although it isn't ideal, you can make meatloaf without eggs if needed.
    • Beef broth - You can substitute milk or even water.
    • Ketchup
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Balsamic vinegar

    How to make it

    Serving Onion Soup Mix Meatloaf.

    Make your meatloaf with onion soup mix by first crumbling the ground meat into a large mixing bowl along with the onion soup mix packet, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.

    Mix the beaten eggs, beef broth, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl. Then combine it with the ground beef mixture.

    Line a bread pan with aluminum foil (this allows the cooked meatloaf to be removed easily), then place the meat mixture in the pan and form into a loaf shape.

    Mix together the ketchup and balsamic vinegar to create your meatloaf glaze, then brush it on top of the meatloaf.

    Place the meatloaf in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees when tested with a meat thermometer. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your loaf.

    Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for five minutes, then serve with fluffy mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

    Storing & Reheating Leftovers

    Meatloaf recipe with onion soup mix.

    Leftover onion soup mix meatloaf should be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to one week. Leftover meatloaf can be reheated in the microwave, but my favorite way to enjoy leftovers is to warm individual slices of meatloaf in a skillet over medium-low heat and repurpose them as meatloaf sandwiches.
