A weeknight meatloaf seasoned with soup mix and topped with tomato soup.

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

In a large bowl, add:
    1 ½ lbs. (750 g) lean ground beef
    1 packet (about ¼ cup) Dry Onion Soup Mix see Recipe
    2 large free-run eggs, beaten
    ½ cup Panko® breadcrumbs
    ¼ cup ketchup
    ½ tsp. Turkish oregano (substitute regular oregano)
    ½ tsp. chipotle chili powder
    ½ tsp. freshly ground mixed peppercorns, or more to taste
    ½ cup very hot water but not boiling

Mix very well.

Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x5x3 loaf pan and level it out. Cover the top with:
    1 can (10 oz./284 ml) cream of tomato soup see Recipe

Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 1:10 hours. That is 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.
