šŸ‘©ā€šŸ³ Letā€™s Get Cooking!

  1. Meatloaf Prep: Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°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. šŸ„©šŸ„£
  2. Bake: Spread your ketchup glaze over the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the internal temp hits 160Ā°F. šŸŒ”ļøšŸ”„
  3. The Potatoes: While the meatloaf bakes, boil your peeled potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter and cream until silky smooth. šŸ„”šŸ§ˆā˜ļø
  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. šŸ²šŸ„£
  5. Assembly: Slice that juicy meatloaf thick, place it over a mountain of potatoes, and pour that gravy everywhere! šŸŒŠšŸ¤¤

šŸ’” Pro-Tip:

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing! This keeps all those delicious juices inside where they belong. ā³šŸ„©
