Meatloaf is hard to beat when it comes to making something that everyone will like. This recipe is quick, easy and popular. To cut down on the cooking time, make 8 individual loaves and place them in a 9 x 13 lightly oiled pan. Any leftovers still make great sandwiches!

1  envelope of onion soup mix
3/4  cup dry bread crumbs (or 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs)
2  eggs, lightly beaten
1/2  cup of water
1/2  cup of ketchup
1/4  teaspoon black pepper
2  pounds ground beef

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, combine soup mix through black pepper. Blend well. Add ground beef and mix thoroughly. The easiest way to get 8 individual loaves is to divide the mixture in half in the bowl, then divide each half into quarters, then each quarter in half one more time for 8 servings. Form into mini loaves as you place them in the pan. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until 170 F. in the center. Makes 8 mini loaves. No slicing just simply serve and enjoy!
