Need a great meatloaf gravy (not tomato)

[Imzadi]

I have a fantastic meatloaf recipe, but it needs a good BROWN gravy with it - not a tomato-ey gravy with it.

Anyone have an easy one they'd be willing to share?

Ok, I am a lazy cook when it comes to meatloaf...I use the canned gravy, LOL IUt's perfect every time. (I wait until the last 1/2 hour of cooking and disgard the drippings and pour the gravy over it)

No help, I know...

This recipe is supper easy and good.

1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
In a medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until tender. Add beef broth; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine water and cornstarch in a small cup; stir into broth. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until thickened.

That recipe sounds great! But I'm pretty lazy when it comes to gravy, but I do make my own. I get a beef base product made by Tones at Sams and use it. I don't have any exact measurements...sorry...but I make a beef broth first (basically following the beef base instructions) then I thicken it with rice flour...works better than cornstarch or flour because once the gravy is cold it still is smooth and doesn't clump when reheated. Once it is at the consistency I want, I add a can of drained sliced mushrooms and season to taste.

Sometimes when I'm in a hurry and don't feel like making a big meatloaf, I'll make small burger sized ones and cook them on top of the stove...just like burgers...then remove from skillet...make the gravy...add the mini meatloaves back and simmer for about 10 mins. I think most people call it salisbury steak...never have quite figured out the difference other than when I was growing up, Mom's meatloaf always had ketchup on top of it and salisbury steak always had the brown gravy with it.

Oh, well, hope this helps! It's easy and always have the ingredients on hand.

Sorry, I don't have a gravy recipe, but could you post your Fantastic Meatloaf Recipe?

My favorite meatball gravy is from the Lipton's Onion soup package.
