Ingredients
2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
1 packet dry onion soup mix (halal certified)
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1/2 cup non-alcoholic beef broth
1/2 cup ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine ground beef, onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, and beef broth in a large bowl.
Mix components gently using your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into a uniform loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf.
Bake for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure it retains its juices.
Notes
Ensure your onion soup mix does not contain any alcohol or pork-derived ingredients. Always use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure food safety. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
