Superior Meat Loaf

 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix ( you can use Beefy Onion, or Beefy Mushroom Soup mix as well)

2 pounds ground beef

1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs

2 eggs

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup ketsup

Preheat oven to 350

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. In  a large shallow baking pan, shape into a loaf. I like to spread additional ketsup over the top of the loaf, its optional. Bake 1 hour or until done. 

Perfect as this is, it could use a good generous grinding of fresh black pepper.
