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.
