Ingredienser
  

  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, grated onion, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then shape the mixture into a loaf.
  • Place the loaf in the slow cooker and pour ½ cup of the beef broth around it. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • Lift the meatloaf out of the slow cooker and set it aside on a plate. Leave the remaining broth in the pot.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in the remaining beef broth and the heavy cream. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens.
  • Slice the meatloaf and serve it with the warm gravy spooned over the top.

Grate the onion finely so it blends smoothly into the meat and releases moisture during the long cook. Make the gravy right before serving to keep the texture silky, and stir in a pinch more nutmeg if you prefer a slightly stronger spice note. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of broth to loosen the gravy.
