Ingredients You’ll Need
To make a delicious Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Meatloaf, gather the following:
- 2 pounds ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork for extra flavor)
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup ketchup (plus more for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a sturdy spoon to gently mix until everything is evenly combined.
Tip: Avoid overmixing, as it can make the meatloaf dense instead of tender.
Step 2: Shape the Meatloaf
Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or a clean surface. Shape it into a loaf that will fit snugly into your slow cooker.
Step 3: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the shaped meatloaf inside.
Step 4: Add the Glaze
Spread a thin layer of ketchup (or a mix of ketchup and brown sugar if you like a sweeter glaze) over the top of the loaf. This will caramelize beautifully as it cooks.
Step 5: Cook Low and Slow
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on:
- LOW for 6–7 hours
- or HIGH for 3–4 hours
The meatloaf is ready when the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 6: Rest and Slice
Once cooked, carefully lift the meatloaf out of the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This step helps the juices redistribute, keeping every slice moist and flavorful.
Serving Suggestions
This slow cooker Lipton onion meatloaf pairs perfectly with:
