Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, bread crumbs, eggs, water, and ketchup.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the top is browned.

Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

For a healthier version, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Adding finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms can enhance the flavor and add moisture. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider mixing in a dash of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs. To make the meatloaf even more indulgent, top it with a layer of cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
