Description
Discover the rich and savory flavors of the souper meatloaf , a unique twist to the classic meatloaf recipe with the addition of condensed soup for extra moisture and taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup (or your preferred flavor)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)
- 1/4 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce (for glazing, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 1/2 can of condensed soup, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, onion, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until just combined – do not overmix to ensure a tender meatloaf.
- Shape the Meatloaf:
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake:
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- Glaze:
- If using, spread ketchup or BBQ sauce over the top of the meatloaf after the initial 45 minutes of baking.
- Finish Baking:
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until fully cooked through.
- Serve:
- While the meatloaf is baking, heat the remaining condensed soup in a saucepan, adding a bit of water or milk to thin if desired. Serve this as a sauce alongside the meatloaf.
- Let Rest:
- Once done, let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, ensuring each slice is moist.
Notes
- You can experiment with different flavors of condensed soup for varied tastes.
- The ketchup or BBQ glaze on top adds a sweet and tangy flavor, but it's optional based on your preference.
