Ingredients

• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 pound ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup onion, finely minced
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoon ketchup
• 3 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 cup beef broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, minced onion, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix, as this will make the meatloaf tough.
4. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a 9x5 inch loaf pan, pressing gently to fit.
5. Spread 2 tablespoons of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
6. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F on a meat thermometer.
7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully transfer it to a cutting board, reserving the pan with drippings for the gravy.
8. Place the loaf pan with drippings on the stovetop over medium heat.
9. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the pan, stirring and scraping the bottom to incorporate all browned bits.
10. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the melted butter and stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes to create a roux, cooking out the raw flour taste.
11. Slowly pour in 2 cups of beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
12. Continue cooking and whisking for 3 to 5 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
13. Season the gravy with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, taste and adjust as needed.
14. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the hot pan gravy poured over top.
