    Meatloaf Seasoning Recipe

    Meatloaf is a family favorite in my household. I love making incredible ground beef meatloaf during the week and enjoying the leftovers! My secret to the perfect recipe is all in the glaze and my flavorful seasoning for meatloaf.

    Using a mix of the best seasonings for meatloaf, my spice mix is so much better than anything you can buy in a packet. It's easy to make using simple meatloaf spices you most likely have on hand already.

    Give it a try the next time you make my Keto Beef Meatloaf Recipe and I know you'll want to use it every single time you make this dish. It's just that good.

    I tried it and it came out great. Thanks for including the adjustments for increasing the amount. I use 2 lbs ground beef and 1 lbs of ground pork so I made 5 tablespoons of seasoning. My husband loved it and felt it was perfectly seasoned and much better than the packets.

    Seasonings for Meatloaf FAQs

    How do you add flavor to meatloaf?

    My best spices for meatloaf are dried mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder! It's a perfect mix of spices for meatloaf.

    How do you store homemade meatloaf spices?

    Store in an air-tight container such as a jar (I like to have my own spice jars to use) until ready to use. For homemade spice mixes, I like to have extra on hand already mixed to use.

    How to Season Meatloaf

    Mix your ground beef with your dry seasoning and wet ingredients at the same time. You want to mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

      Do you not use bread crumbs and ketchup in the meat? Can’t wait to try it! Thank you!

      I used this seasoning recipe for dinner. It came out so delicious and flavorful. We didnt have mustard, or black pepper, but it still tasted great. 10/10, definitely using this next time i make meatloaf. I like this better than the seasoning packets from the store.

        Hi Victoria! The recipe as written creates 4 Tablespoons, which is perfect for 1 meatloaf using 2 pounds of meat. So if you want to make it in bulk, I would personally probably quadruple it to make a cup's worth. That would require:

      • 8 teaspoons dried mustard
      • 8 teaspoons paprika
      • 4 teaspoon salt
      • 6 teaspoons basil
      • 4 teaspoon black pepper
      • 4 teaspoon garlic powder
      • 4 teaspoon onion powder
      • Enjoy!

      Now you have a spice recipe for flavoring meatloaf,could you make a nacho cheese flavor for meatloaf, like the Doritos nacho cheese meatloaf?its a meatloaf using nacho cheese flavor Doritos chips,so after you’ve done cooking the meatloaf,the meat will have a light Doritos nacho cheese flavor in every bite, almost like Taco Bell Doritos taco.

        That sounds delicious, George! We'll definitely keep that in mind for the future as we add on to our meatloaf recipes. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

      Except for the paprika, I used fresh ingredients and not dried. DELICIOUS 🤤 Personal preference no garlic 🧄 but Omgoodness it was a nice blend of flavors especially since I like my meatloaf without bread 🍞 eggs 🥚 and ketchup 🍅
