Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a shallow 8" baking pan with foil.
Dissolve beef bouillion cube in boiling water in a large bowl. Add
all other ingredients except the catsup and blend well with a fork.
Turn onto foil in pan and, with hands, shape quickly into a
6x4-1/2x2" loaf. With the dull edge of a knife make a crisscross
pattern across the top, spread with catup across the top. Cover
loaf with a tent of foil that does not touch the top. Bake
45 minutes. Remove foil; bake, uncovered, another 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool in pan for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Using this molded method instead of loaf pan allows the fat to
drain from the loaf, whereas a loaf pan retains fat.
