Heat oven to 400 deg F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soup mix, cheese, parsley, eggs, and saltines. Add the water and combine. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish and form it into a 9-inch loaf. Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the meat loaf from the oven and pour the barbeque sauce over the top. Return to oven for about 15 minutes more.
