This meat loaf gets all its seasoning from half an envelope of Lipton Onion-Mushroom soup mix, with soft bread crumbs, egg, catsup and a little water for a moist, tender loaf. It is packed into a loaf pan and baked in about 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 envelope Lipton Onion-Mushroom Soup mix
  • 1 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup catsup
  • 1/2 cup water

To make it vegetarian

  • For the ground meat, use a plant-based ground meat, or cooked lentils mixed with finely chopped mushrooms.

Meat substitutes change the flavor, texture and cooking time: cook plant-based meats to the package directions, and tofu and mushrooms only need to brown and heat through. The nutrition on this page is for the original recipe. See all our vegetarian recipes.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
