Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 2 cups Chicken or beef stock
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together gently using your hands or a spatula, being careful not to overmix to avoid a tough texture.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet or into the loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the tomato gravy. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to caramelize it slightly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the tomato paste and stir to form a roux. Let it cook for another minute.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the chicken or beef stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the dried thyme, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens.

Step 9

Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the meatloaf warm with a generous drizzle of tomato gravy on top. Enjoy!
