This Meatloaf recipe is homemade and as it says I add it my own style to it. Very easy to make and tastes delicious!
Since I already had the hamburger meat, I decided to make a meatloaf. Leo really loves my meatloaf because I fix it differently than most people.
I have made meatloaf this way for years. You see, I don't like meatloaf smothered in ketchup. I don't know how I got this idea, but I put cream of mushroom soup on the top of mine. It's really good made this way.
Two other things that I put in my meatloaf are:
So here's what you'll need to make my meatloaf.
- 2 lbs. ground chuck
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 small green peppers, chopped
- 1 cup Old Fashioned oats
- 1 pkg. Lipton's Beefy Onion Soup and Dip Mix
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup ketchup
- ground pepper, to taste
- can of cream of mushroom soup (for the top)
Mix all the ingredients together. Pour into a greased casserole dish and shape it into a loaf.
I use a fork to shape it and pull it away from the sides of the dish.
Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees for one hour. Then take it out of the oven and carefully pour off any extra fat and spread a can of cream of mushroom soup over the top. Bake for 15 minutes more.
This meatloaf makes a lot. The four of us had a generous serving Friday evening, and yesterday Leo and I had meatloaf sandwiches. And as I am writing this post, I am heating the remaining part for lunch.
Yum! This is comfort food at it best! Even Lucy is hoping for a little bit of the meatloaf.

This is how my mother has done meatloaf for years (except no lipton soup/green peppers) I remember being shocked when I realized nobody makes meatloaf like this, its all usually covered in ketchup..ick. This soup-er meatloaf is pure comfort food. I have one in the oven now!

I usually don't like to make meatloaf because the recipes I don't like the meatloaf recipes I have. I've tried them, not to my liking. With the exception of a teriyaki meatloaf. Now, that one, I do like. I wanted to thank you for posting this meatloaf. My husband requested for one that had the cream of mushroom topping instead of ketchup. I only had ground beef and the onion soup mix. I used them anyway. I must say, it was an absolute hit! Even with me! We all loved it! This includes my 4 y/o. My husband was so pleased with how it turned out, he shared some with the neighbors and my mother-in-law. Thank you again!

Jane, Debbie McGee told me how delicious this recipe turns out so I just printed it. It is football Saturday and the weather is crispy cool outside, so it is only fitting that your meatloaf and some fixin's will be on my table tonight. Thanks so much!!!

YUMMY! I should really make some meatloaf soon...
I don't like my meatloaf smothered in ketchup either!
I love comfort foods!

This sounds great. I couldn't use the onion soup mix, too much salt. I am certainly going to use the cream of mushroom soup though, low salt kind. Sounds so good. Thanks for sharing. Ginger

This sounds delicious and different. I will try it. Of course I have never made a decent meatloaf in my life,no matter how good the recipe.

Thanks for the kind words...as for the button trim, I bought it in the sale section of Hobby Lobby about 6 months ago - I am not sure if it is something they always carry. I am thinking if I buy really thick canvas, that they will hold mini loaves of bread, or cookies - or even a jar of something like pickles or sauce!

I'm not a big fan of traditional meatloaf either. Yours, however sounds sooooo good. I love cream of mushroom on anything. Thanks for sharing.
patti
That is almost the same as my recipe, except I add some salsa to it!! Love the idea of soup on top - will try that next time!

I have to be so careful with meatloaf because of hubbies blood pressure...no out of the packet seasonings in this house, but I too am not a ketchup fan so instead I use Sonny's sweet BBQ sauce.
Maybe I should try it your way.

I wish I had a nice slice of this meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes right about now! I also add oatmeal to my meatloaf, but never topped it with cream of mushroom soup, it sounds delicious. xo
