Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Spread the ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Gravy Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook Onions

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and stir for about 1 minute to form a roux.

  3. 7

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.

  4. 8

    Season the Gravy
