Old fashioned meatloaf recipe using onion soup mix

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs ground beef, it is preferable that the beef should contain about 80% of the fat.

Optionally use everything in moderation and 1 oz of packet onion soup mix for taste.

¼ cup of either crushed saltines or unseasoned breadcrumbs.

Add 1/2 cup of whole milk to get some extra moistness.

1 large egg (beaten lightly).

¼ cup of ketchup and extra on the side.

1/4 cup of water; I have not added hot soup which could make it too dry.

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). At that time there was no frequently practiced calibrating of the oven while this temperature could make a very dense meatloaf.
  • Combine Ingredients: First, take a large bowl, then combine ground beef, onion soup mix, crushed saltine crackers/ breadcrumbs, and milk, one beaten egg, one fourth cup ketchup, and water. Stir with your hands, as was often the case, just enough to make sure that it is only combined.
  • Mold the loaf: Shape the mixture into a loaf shape then place it into an ungreased baking pan. Doesn’t have to be a loaf pan; many of the classic recipes were tossed right into the dish.
  • Traditional Ketchup Layer: Finally, for that thick and delightful coloration pour a generous amount of ketchup onto the loaf.
  • Cook: Bake for approximately 50 minutes, but ensure that the meatloaf reaches at least 160F (71C) inside before taking it out of the oven.
  • Let It Sit: This gives the meat time to firm up so that when you slice it the juices will settle in their rightful place avoiding the meat being dry and crumbly.

Notes

  1. It’s best served with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed carrots; however, using green beans will make the meal traditional as well.
  2. This recipe is remarkably similar to how families enjoyed their meatloaf years ago: no fuss, hearty, and delicious.
