Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and form it into a loaf shape. Smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Spread the ketchup over the top of the meatloaf in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) in the center of the loaf.

Step 7

While the meatloaf is baking, make the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 8

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. It should be golden in color.

Step 9

Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil and thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat until the meatloaf is ready.

Step 11

Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve slices of meatloaf with the gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dishes for a comforting meal.
