Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to gently but thoroughly mix all of the ingredients.
In a 13 x 9 inch baking pan, shape the meat into a 9 x 5 inch loaf or pat it into a 9x5 inch loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake about 1 hour until the meat loaf is firm, the top is richly browned and a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 155 degrees.
Let the meat loaf stand in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut into slices to serve. Makes 8 servings.
