Ingredients:
For the Meatloaf:
750 g (1.5 lbs) ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Onion Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Meatloaf:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan and shape into a loaf. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Make the Onion Gravy:
While the meatloaf bakes, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until golden and caramelized (about 10-12 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
Sprinkle flour over the onions, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in beef stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and let the gravy thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve & Enjoy:
Slice the meatloaf and generously pour onion gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm!
