Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Diced Celery
  • 1/2 cup Diced Onion
  • 2 tbsp Minced Garlic Adjust accordingly to taste. I love garlic!
  • 2 lbs Ground Beef Lean is not recommended
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Plain Bread Crumbs
  • 1 Knorr Homestyle Beef Stock Cup Substitutions not recommended
  • 1 packet Lipton Recipe Secret’s Beefy Onion Substitutions not recommended
  • 1/3 cup Heinze Ketchup

Beef Gravy

  • 1/4 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbs Flour
  • 1 Knorr Homestyle Beef Stock Pot
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add olive oil to a sauté pan and heat over medium high heat. Add diced celery and onion to pan and sauté until tender. When close to being tender add the minced garlic in. Make sure to stir occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add the ground beef, bread crumbs and eggs into a large bowl and combine. Note: I like easy cleanup, so I mix it all in a square foil pan and throw it away when done! I also use cooking gloves to mix and toss those away too!
  • Add the Knorr Homestyle Beef Stock cup, the Lipton Beefy Onion packet and the Heinze ketchup to the ground beef mixture. Combine well.
  • Add the sautéed celery and onion and combine with ground beef mixture.
  • Place into a loaf pan (I use foil pans for easy clean up)!
  • Cook for 1 hour. Let stand for 15 minutes prior to serving, otherwise it will fall apart when slicing.
  • While meatloaf is resting, make the beef gravy. Make a roux by adding the butter to a small sauté pan and melting on low heat. add the flour and whisk until combined. Add the Knorr Homestyle Beef Stock and water to a small sauce pan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Add the roux.

Notes

This recipe makes one loaf pan. Double the recipe if you want to make two!
