Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! You can prepare the meatloaf mixture a day in advance, cover it tightly, and refrigerate until ready to bake. The gravy can also be made ahead and reheated just before serving.
Q: How do I prevent my meatloaf from falling apart?
A: Ensure you have the right balance of binding ingredients (egg and breadcrumbs) and avoid overmixing the meat mixture. Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes after baking also helps it hold together.
Q: Can I caramelize the onions faster?
A: While slow cooking yields the best flavor, you can speed up the process by adding a pinch of sugar to the onions to encourage browning.
Q: What can I use instead of beef broth in the gravy?
A: You can substitute chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water with a splash of soy sauce for depth of flavor.
