INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Butter
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined, then shape the mixture into a small loaf and place it in the prepared baking dish.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the savory gravy. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the whole wheat flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the low-sodium beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the meatloaf is ready, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve slices of the meatloaf topped with the warm savory gravy.
