Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then chop and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, cooked bacon, sautéed onion and garlic, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley. Form into a loaf and place in a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Bake the Meatloaf

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

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside. Add sliced mushrooms to the bacon fat and sauté until browned. Stir in butter and flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and soy sauce, bringing to a simmer. Season with black pepper and stir until thickened.

    Prepare the Onion Rings

    Slice ewa onions into rings. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in cold water until you have a smooth batter.
