Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 packet Brown gravy mix
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and brown sugar. Spread this glaze over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 7

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the gravy by whisking the gravy mix with water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the gravy starts to thicken. Lower the heat and keep warm.

Step 8

Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of meatloaf with the warm gravy drizzled over the top.
