Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 packet Brown gravy mix
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, until soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Add the cooled onions to the mixture.

Step 4

Use clean hands or a spoon to mix everything together until well combined, but avoid over-mixing as it can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly with your hands or a spatula.

Step 6

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the brown gravy. In a small saucepan, whisk together the brown gravy mix and water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 9

Slice the meatloaf and drizzle the brown gravy over each slice. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
