Ingredienser
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed Ritz crackers, milk, egg, onion, green bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • While the meatloaf bakes, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for one minute to form a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in the beef broth. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with the brown gravy spooned over the top.

merknader

Let the meatloaf rest before slicing so the juices stay inside the loaf rather than running out. If the gravy thickens too much while sitting, add a splash of broth to loosen it. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a little extra gravy to keep the slices moist.
