Method

• 01
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 02
  Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes until slightly browned and softened.
• 03
  Add the garlic, stir and cook for a minute longer, then add the thyme, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.
• 04
  Work the tomato paste into the onions and garlic, then pour in the chicken broth and stir. Let the chicken broth reduce for 3-4 minutes then turn the heat off and remove the skillet from the burner to cool.
• 05
  To a large bowl, add the ground beef along with the eggs and breadcrumbs. Once the onion mixture has cooled, add it to the bowl with the meat and mix to combine. (Clean hands work the best!)
• 06
  Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. (You can also use a piece of parchment paper) Form the meat into a loaf shape and place in the oven.
• 07
  Cook the beef for 45-55 minutes. Check the beef after 45 minutes to see if it’s cooked through, this will depend on the size and shape you made your meatloaf.
• 08
  While the meatloaf is in the oven you can make the brown gravy. When the meatloaf comes out of the oven you can pour the gravy over the top of the meatloaf or slice the meatloaf and serve the gravy on the side.
