½ cup onion, chopped
2 tsp dried basil leaves
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp pepper
⅓ cup ketchup
⅛ tsp hot pepper sauce

Heat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, dissolve beef bouillon in hot water. Add all remaining ingredients; mix well.
Spoon mixture into an ungreased 8×4-inch loaf pan or shape mixture into an 8″x4” loaf in an ungreased 12″x8” (2-qt) baking dish. Insert meat thermometer so bulb reaches the center of the meatloaf.
