Preparation

Step 1

To prepare meatloaf:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, bouillon broth, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well combined.
3. Form into a loaf shape and place on a cookie sheet coated with nonstick spray.
4. Place in oven for 45 minutes until until an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

To prepare tomato gravy:
1. In a large saucepan, heat butter. As butter begins to foam and brown, add smashed garlic and allow garlic to brown slightly.
2. Sprinkle in flour, stirring constantly, forming a roux. Cook about 10 minutes until brown. If you do not cook long enough, your gravy will have a flour taste.
3. Add chicken stock and tomato paste and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
