Equipment

Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef 80/20 beef recommended
  • ¾ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated onion
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Brown Gravy

Instructions

Meatloaf

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add all meatloaf ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Line your bread pan with aluminum foil, then place the meatloaf mixture into the pan and form it into an even loaf.
  • Place meatloaf in the oven for one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees in the center of the loaf when tested with a meat thermometer.

Brown Gravy

  • Begin preparing the brown gravy when the meatloaf is approximately 15 minutes from being done.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium low heat, then whisk in flour to form a roux. Cook the flour mixture for 3 minutes, while whisking to prevent the flour from scorching.
  • Slowly add beef broth a couple of dribbles at a time, and whisk into the flour mixture before adding more. Repeat until all of the beef broth has been added.
  • Add the sprig of sage and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and let thicken.
  • When the meatloaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice and serve smothered in gravy.

Notes

The longer your gravy sits the more it will thicken. If it gets too thick you can thin it out with a couple of dribbles of water. If it is too thin, just simmer it longer.
If you do not have a bread pan, you can free-form this tasty meatloaf into a loaf shape and bake it on a rimmed baking sheet.
