Meatloaf with onion

Onion meatloaf is a traditional and very popular dish in several countries, especially in the United States, where it is also known as "meatloaf". However, in Latin America, although there is no single standard name, it is often found with similar variations under local names such as "carne pudding" or simply "meatloaf". Its origin dates back to times when making the most of available ingredients was essential, mixing ground meat with other elements to create a nutritious and easy-to-prepare dish. In countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, this dish adopts different accompaniments and local touches, but always maintaining the essence of a juicy and comforting preparation. The inclusion of dry onion soup mix is a common resource that adds flavor without complications, making this recipe a practical and delicious option.

How to Make Onion Meatloaf

To begin this recipe, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F to ensure even cooking.

Then, mix the lean ground meat, the dry onion soup mix, milk, and egg until you get a homogeneous mixture.

Firmly shape the mixture into a loaf in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, ketchup, and prepared mustard, and place this mixture over the meatloaf.

Bake uncovered for approximately one hour or until well cooked.

When ready, remove the loaf to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the juices distribute better.

Finally, serve the onion meatloaf on a warm platter and enjoy a dish full of flavor and tradition.
