How to Make Lipton Meatloaf Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step One: Mix all the ingredients into a large bowl. Don't overmix. You want the ingredients to be incorporated.
Step Two: Shape the loaf in a 13X9-inch baking or roasting pan. Bake uncovered until 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. This takes about 1 hour.
Step Three: Halfway through the cooking time, baste with the cooking liquid from the pan, extra ketchup, or BBQ sauce. Do this every 10 minutes.
Step Four: Let the meatloaf stand 10 minutes before serving.
Top tip
Before slicing individual slices of meatloaf, be sure to let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes. If you try to cut the meatloaf before that time, the juices will run out, and you'll lose tons of flavor. Rest is best.
Substitutions
- Ground turkey - Instead of using beef, you can use ground turkey or chicken to make your new favorite meatloaf recipe.
Variations
- Spices - You can add garlic powder, onion powder for an extra onion flavor, or your favorite herbs.
- Italian bread crumbs - You can use Italian bread crumbs for a boost on flavoring.

Equipment
To make this traditional meatloaf recipe, you'll need to have a large mixing bowl, baking dish, and a meat thermometer.
Storage
The best part of a good meatloaf recipe is that you get to have leftovers the next day. For the best results, let the meatloaf cool down to room temperature, and then store them in an airtight container.
To reheat, you can warm them up in the oven or in the microwave.
Common Questions
Some people do add a little bit of brown sugar into their meat loaf mixture to add a pop of sweetness. Besides that, adding a sweet barbecue sauce on top of the moist meatloaf does the trick.
It's not necessary to do so. If you're worried that the top of the meatloaf is browning too quickly, you could always tent the top so that it protects it while it's baking.
The internal temperature of the meatloaf needs to be at least 160 degrees. Insert the tip of the thermometer in the center of the meatloaf to get an accurate reading.
You can pair the meatloaf with anything that you want. I love pairing it with potatoes, broccoli, green beans, or even some smoked sweet potatoes. For a lighter option, a side salad is a good option. Change up the sides to change up the meal each time you make it.
