Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into an even loaf. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the sour cream gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.

Step 8

Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Slice the rested meatloaf and serve it topped with the sour cream gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your hearty country meatloaf with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.
