Meat Loaf Gravy

By

This simple gravy is the perfect thing for our flavorful meat loaf. If there's any left over, it can be served with mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 28-ounce can tomato puree
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, cored,seeded, and thinly sliced
  • 1 small stalk celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a heavy pot and heat, stirring occasionally, until very hot, but not boiling. (Boiling will thin the gravy.) Check the seasoning and serve hot over meat loaf.

Note: Leftover meat loaf gravy can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
