    Why you should try this brown gravy meatloaf

    Easy – Meatloaf is surprisingly easy to make and great for a family meal. This recipe is a classic meatloaf recipe but you could also use this air fryer meatloaf or onion soup meatloaf with the gravy.

    Delicious – While we love meatloaf with a BBQ sauce or Ketchup sauce, serving it with gravy is really a treat, especially with mashed potatoes. This is comfort food that will warm your belly and your heart.

    Leftovers – This brown gravy meatloaf recipe makes wonderful leftovers.

    Ingredients needed for brown gravy meatloaf

    Meatloaf

    • Ground beef – I like using a lean ground beef but feel free to use what you have on hand.
    • Panko bread crumbs – You can use Panko or substitute with regular bread crumbs.
    • Milk – This adds moisture to the meatloaf.
    • Worcestershire sauce – Adds more beefy flavor to the dish.
    • Eggs – 2 large eggs are used for this recipe.
    • Onions – Diced onions add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf.
    • Seasonings – Salt, ground black pepper, and Montreal seasoning. You could also use this tasty meatloaf seasoning.

    Homemade Brown Gravy

    • Beef stock – This gives the gravy its rich flavor. You can substitute with beef broth.
    • Butter – Unsalted butter is used to make the roux for the gravy.
    • Flour – All-purpose flour is needed to help thicken up the gravy.
    • Seasonings – Garlic powder, onion powder, salt and ground black pepper
    Ground beef, bowl of eggs, flour, seasonings, broth, and butter.

    How to make meatloaf with brown gravy recipe

    Step one: Prepare Meatloaf – Add ground beef, milk, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, eggs, and seasonings in a large bowl. Combine the meat mixture and form into a loaf shape. You can cook it in an 8×4 loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

    Step three: Gravy – Carefully remove the meatloaf from the oven and let rest while making the gravy. For the gravy, place butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Melt butter and then whisk in the flour.

    Recipe tips for the perfect meatloaf

    • Make sure not to over mix the meatloaf mixture. Over mixing can make it tough.
    • If you don’t want to make homemade gravy, use a store-bought brown gravy mix packet.
    • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees F.

    What to serve with meatloaf

    Meatloaf pairs well with many side dishes like mashed potatoes, green beans, french fries, white rice, and macaroni and cheese. Check out this list of 33 meatloaf side dishes for more ideas.

    How to store leftovers

    I recommend storing the meatloaf separate from the gravy. Let both cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat the meatloaf in the microwave, oven, or air fryer. Reheat the gravy on the stove or in the microwave.
