  • 2 Large Eggs 🥚
  • 1/2 cup Milk 🥛

  • 1/2 cup Butter 🧈
  • 1/2 cup Milk or Heavy Cream 🥛
  • 2 cups Beef broth 🍲
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch (slurry for the gravy) ✨

👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Cooking!

  1. Meatloaf Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, and seasonings. Mix gently (don’t overwork it!) and shape into a loaf in a baking dish. 🥩🥣
  2. Bake: Spread your ketchup glaze over the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the internal temp hits 160°F. 🌡️🔥
  3. The Potatoes: While the meatloaf bakes, boil your peeled potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter and cream until silky smooth. 🥔🧈☁️
  4. The Liquid Gold (Gravy): Simmer beef broth in a small pan. Whisk in a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with a little water) and cook until thickened. Season with extra black pepper. 🍲🥣
  5. Assembly: Slice that juicy meatloaf thick, place it over a mountain of potatoes, and pour that gravy everywhere! 🌊🤤

💡 Pro-Tip:

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing! This keeps all those delicious juices inside where they belong. ⏳🥩
