Ingredients
- 4 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 ½ cups Italian bread crumbs
- 2 (4.5 ounce) packages noodle soup mix (such as Lipton Soup Secrets)
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Hunt's), divided
- 4 eggs
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 2 teaspoons steak sauce (such as A1)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place a large cast iron skillet into the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Make the meatloaf mixture: Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, soup mix, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, eggs, onion, ketchup, cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, steak sauce, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder in a large bowl; mix until well combined.
Step 3
Make the topping: Mix remaining tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until is smooth.
Step 4
Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Press meatloaf mixture into skillet, smoothing the top. Spread topping over beef.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until beef is mostly cooked through, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain off grease. Return to the oven and continue cooking until meatloaf juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 more hour.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
