Notes

This is an easy way to make a tasty meatloaf.  The Lipton Soup packets contain a lot of flavor, and you can add other ingredients to make it your own too.  Meatloaf is the same concept as stew.  There is the base of meat, you then add what you want to make it yours.
I like to add in some extra pepper flavor.  Instead of a bell pepper I will go with one or two jalapeno peppers, or poblano or other peppers that add that special kick.
