Southern Meatloaf with Brown Gravy: Directions

1. Heat the oven: Turn your oven on to 180°C (350°F) and let it warm up while you get everything else ready.
2. Mix the meatloaf: Grab a big bowl and throw in the 17.9 ounces ground beef, 0.5 cups breadcrumbs, 1 pieces small onion, finely chopped, 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced, 1 pieces egg, 0.3 cups milk, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoons salt, 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, 0.5 teaspoons paprika, and 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped. Stir it all together, but don’t go crazy mixing — just enough so everything is combined.
3. Shape and place: Take the meat mixture and shape it into a nice loaf with your hands. Set it in a baking dish or loaf pan. It doesn’t have to be perfect — rustic looks just as good!
4. Bake the meatloaf: Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes

   . You’ll know it’s done when it’s cooked all the way through with no pink in the middle.
5. Make the gravy: While the meatloaf is in the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter (for gravy) in a small pan on medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy) and keep stirring for about 1–1m 30s

   until it turns a light golden color.
6. Finish the gravy: Slowly pour in the 2 cups beef broth (for gravy), a little at a time, whisking the whole time so it doesn’t get lumpy. Stir in 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (for gravy) plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it bubble and thicken on low heat.
7. Rest and serve: Take the meatloaf out of the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before you cut into it — this keeps it juicy. Slice it up, lay the pieces over a big scoop of mashed potatoes, and pour that warm brown gravy all over the top. Dig in it extra Parmesan for anyone who wants more. Best served right away while it’s still hot and creamy!
