    It probably tastes great. What do you mean by “what’s the deal”? Like, what’s the origin?

      Why not use real onion, garlic etc?

      Like the ingredients for onion soup…

      Instead of processed shite

          And one of them has roasting flavor transpiring from floured, sautéed onions to the meat but takes 5 minutes longer to make.

      It’s the same as using processed cheese, which Americans also think is just fine and dandy. Throwing ultra processed food together is not cooking.

      And then these same people tell the English they have bad food…

        Because onion soup mix gives a different flavor than an onion? I only use real onions in mine personally but that’s a really stupid question, they do it because they think it tastes good.

        If you think one ingredient being powder instead of a chopped vegetable makes it not cooking anymore, you’re just kind of a snob. Don’t make your food that way.

          I stated an opinion about a thing, you voiced an opinion about me. That’s a notable difference between our comments, and a thing that seems to be completely normal on today’s internet.

          Also, you could easily replace the onion soup mix with onion powder, beef bouillon and some spices. That would get rid of the other crap like the cornstarch, sugar, caramel color, corn syrup solids, yeast extract, high oleic sunflower oil, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate and artificial flavoring that you get with your onion soup mix.

          If not wanting to eat all that crap that comes with ultra processed food makes me a snob, so be it.

            Your last line invited the comments to become personal by mentioning that those “same people” tell English they have bad food.

            Both can be bad btw. Many English comfort foods aren’t much better than this meat loaf recipe.
