1

Gather Your Ingredients

To make this meatloaf with gravy, you will need 2 pounds of ground beef, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of diced onions, 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.

2

Mix it Up

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onions, bell peppers, garlic, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Get your hands in there and mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the meatloaf tough.

3

Shape the Loaf

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the meat mixture and shape it into a loaf shape on a baking dish or a loaf pan. Make sure the loaf is evenly shaped and compacted.

4

Bake and Glaze

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). While the meatloaf is baking, you can prepare the gravy by combining 2 cups of beef broth, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally.

5

Savor the Flavor

Once the meatloaf is fully cooked, carefully remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the meatloaf and serve it with a generous drizzle of the savory gravy. It pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. Enjoy!
