Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large egg
1/4 cup flour
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Panko or whole wheat breadcrumbs (optional)
1/4 cup milk (for vegan option)
Halal-certified beef broth (required)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan
Combine ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl
Pack mixture into the loaf pan and compact evenly
Bake for 20 minutes
Dredge the top of the meatloaf with flour to create a gravy base
In a saucepan, mix broth, mustard, and flour from the loaf pan. Simmer for 20 minutes until thickened
Remove meatloaf, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with gravy

Notes

Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F
Let the meatloaf rest completely to avoid crumbling
Add 1/4 cup water to the gravy if it becomes too thick
For freezing, cool completely before storing
