Ingredients for Best Ever Meatloaf

How to Make Best Ever Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup crushed seasoned breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Campbell's condensed tomato soup, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, 1 large egg, and 1/2 medium finely chopped onion.
  3. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in an 8x4 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
  5. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the meatloaf drippings, the remaining 1/2 cup Campbell's condensed tomato soup, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  6. Heat the glaze over medium-low heat until warmed through.
  7. Once the meatloaf is cooked, brush the glaze generously over the top.
  8. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
