Ingredients

Meatloaf Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup quick oats, uncooked
¾ cup milk
2 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Meatloaf Glaze:

½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with nonstick spray or line with foil.
Mix: In a large bowl, add all of the meatloaf ingredients and mix just until well combined. See notes.
Shape: Add meat to the baking dish and shape it into a meatloaf about 10" long and 5" wide.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
Make the Glaze: While the meatloaf bakes, make the glaze. Mix the Glaze ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Glaze: After the meatloaf has baked for 45 minutes, pull it out of the oven and brush liberally with the glaze, return it to the oven. Bake an additional 15- 20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160˚.
Carefully drain any grease from the dish. Allow meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Don't Overmix: Gently combine the ingredients just until mixed.

Use Your Hands: I prefer to use my hands when mixing the meatloaf mixture. This method distributes everything evenly.

Line the Dish with Foil: For easy cleanup, line the dish with foil or spray the baking dish well with nonstick spray.

Let it rest – Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to keep it from falling apart and retain the juices.
