Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, bread crumbs, eggs, water, and ketchup.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the top is browned.
Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Variations & Tips
For a healthier version, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra moisture and flavor.
For a spicier kick, mix in a dash of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños.
Use gluten-free bread crumbs for a gluten-free option.
Top with a layer of cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for an indulgent touch.
