Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine dressing mix and milk.

Stir until blended and set aside.

Meanwhile, beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Add beef, bread crumbs, chili powder and dressing mixture. With hands, mix until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. (Note: The mixture at this point could be used as a filling for stuffed peppers.)

Transfer to a loaf pan or baking dish, forming meat into a rectangle. Spread ketchup over the loaf. Arrange sliced bacon over the top. Bake for about 1 hour.

Allow to rest for 7 minutes or so before serving.
