My mother-in-law made a meatloaf with Lipton's Onion Soup and a ketchup and brown sugar glaze. I wonder if that was the one you remember? I don’t remember if any of the onion soup was in the glaze. It might have crusted from the candied ketchup! It was very different from my mom’s or any I ever made. I truly appreciated it, though, when she made it for me when I had a new baby and cooking was a chore.

Bless her heart, my mother made the worse meatloaf ever. It was more of a ground meat brick. Her meatballs were the same way. Took years of experimenting and still only made one that was passable. Even tried the Dear Abby recipe. Now, DH, he makes a super delicious meatloaf but no topping. He uses plenty of green peppers and onions in the mix (93% hamburger) and some tomato paste. I gave up, he makes it all now.

I love a dark, sticky ketchup top on my meatloaf, too. I achieve that by putting the ketchup on top of the raw meatloaf, spreading it to cover, then baking it. As long as the ketchup goes on before it ever bakes, you'll get that dark glaze.
