Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the meatloaf evenly.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup mix, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until just combined to avoid toughening the meatloaf.
Shape Loaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.
Apply Glaze: If desired, brush the barbecue sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze that adds moisture and a slightly sweet, tangy finish.
Bake: Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), ensuring it is cooked through and safe to eat.
Rest: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking to retain juices and improve slicing consistency.
Serve: Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a hearty meal.

Notes

For a lighter twist, substitute half of the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to boost flavor and nutrition.
For a classic tomato glaze, mix ketchup with a little brown sugar and mustard before brushing on top.
Leftover meatloaf makes great sandwiches the next day.
