Ingredients

Meatloaf Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 onion finely chopped
2 eggs beaten
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Gravy Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper freshly ground

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2 In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3 Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
5 While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth.
6 Gradually add beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in soy sauce and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
7 Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
8 Serve slices of meatloaf drizzled with gravy.
