Meatloaf with Brown Gravy

 

Meatloaf with Brown Gravy

1 ½ lb. meatloaf mix, beef, pork and veal

2 eggs

½ cup breadcrumbs

½ cup ketchup

2 tbsp parsley

1 carrot grated

1 onion, diced and sautéed until soft

1 tsp onion powder

¼ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp kosher salt and freshly grated parsley

Preheat oven to 425

Mix meat to incorporate.  Add all other ingredients and mix well.  Put into a roasting pan and form into a “loaf”.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Slice an onion and put into pan on either side of the meat.  Roast for about 1 hour or until thermometer reads 160 degrees.  Let rest on a cutting board while you make the gravy.

Heat pan on stove and add ½ cup red wine.  Scrape up any brown bits, breaking up the onions.  Add 1 cup beef stock and stir.  Pour through a strainer into a small saucepan.  Whisk in 1 tsp gravy master, and Wondra flour, to the desired consistency.  Should coat the back of a spoon.  Let simmer for about 3-5 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tbsp fresh or dried parsley.  Slice meatloaf and serve with the gravy.

I served this with baby Dutch potatoes roasted with Cipollini onions, 425 for about 45 minutes, or until tender and golden.
