- ¾ cup milk
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Lightly coat with non-stick spray.
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce and whisk until well combined.
Incorporate the Remaining Ingredients:
- Add the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Mix gently using your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Form the Loaf:
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and shape it into a loaf approximately 2 inches thick.
Initial Bake:
- Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
Prepare the Glaze:
- While the meatloaf bakes, combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Glaze and Final Bake:
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven after 40 minutes and evenly spread the glaze over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Rest and Serve:
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
