Yaya'S Easy And Delicious Meatloaf

• 2 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 2 (1 ounce) envelopes dry onion soup mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (6 ounce) package chicken stove top stuffing mix, I use the store brand
• 1 large bell pepper, chopped small
• 1 large onion, chopped small
• 1/2 cup water, medium hot

1. Put the stuffing mix into a large mixing bowl and add water. Mix with hands until stuffing feels good and moist. You may need a bit more than the half cup.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the stuffing mix. Using your clean hands, mix very well -- make sure everything is really mixed up well.
3. Place mixture into 2 ungreased meatloaf pans. Pack firmly.
4. Using your fingers, press down all around the sides of the meatloaves seperating the sides about 1" away from the pan -- the top of the loaves will look a bit rounded (this helps allow the grease to run off the top of the loaves).
5. Bake on middle oven rack at 350 - degrees for about 1 hour. Let cool for
6. 10-15 minutes before slicing.
7. *NOTE* I usually can test doneness by the way the center of the loaf feels when I touch it (feels about like the area around my wrist). If you are new to cooking, you may want to stick a knife in the center of the loaf and if the juices run clear (no blood) then it is done. Those more experienced than I may want to use a meat thermometer but I have no idea what it should read. LOL.
