  1. Meatloaf was very flavourful and moist. The gravy was not good. The recipe doesn’t state what to do with milk/cornstarch mixture so I added when adding broth. Gravy had too much flour for our liking.






    1. When adding cornstarch slurry, you need to cook it a few minutes. You should have added it after the stock, and stirred continuously until it was as thick as you like.

  2. The meatloaf was wonderful, but the gravy needed a lot of help. There was no mention in the directions of when to add the milk-cornstarch mixture. And with both cornstarch AND flour, there was way too much thickener. We ended up adding over a cup of additional beef broth just to thin it out enough to be anything but flavorful wallpaper paste.






  3. I didn’t add any flour to the recipe…. Added milk/beef broth & Worcestershire sauce to mushrooms & added more broth…. DELICIOUS sauce!

  4. The meatloaf is very light and tender and delicious. I am dairy and gluten free, so I made a few changes. I substituted rice milk for regular milk in the meatloaf, and used 1/2 cup oats instead of the breadcrumbs. For the gravy, I used gluten free flour, and beef broth and wine. I needed to almost double the liquid for the gray as it was too thick. I didn’t use the milk and cornstarch. It was delicious, will make again.






  5. There is definitely a flaw in this recipe. If I could rewrite the recipe, I believe I would say: There are two options for thickening this gravy: Using cornstarch or flour. Option 1: . Combine Milk with the cornstarch and set aside, but omit flour if using cornstarch. Add the cornstarch mixture at the “add flour step”, but omit the flour. Option 2: Flour Method, omit the cornstarch if using the flour. Add the milk after thickening for a lighter sweeter gravy. Anyway, I used the flour option with milk. It turned out grea! Another addition I made was 1/2 tsp thyme to the gravy. Aside from the error, it could’ve been a 5/5 rating.
