i liked it, this was the first time i have EVER made my own gravy from scratch. Like all the other times i have made meat loaf though this tasted like salsbury steak, very good. I just have some personal issue with meat loaf i think

Sorry to disagree. The meatloaf was rather bland and of the ho-hum variety. As for the gravy, I don't know what all the raving is about--zero flavor. Not a keeper.

I've tried the recipe for gravy with beef stock and chicken stock. Oddly enough, the beef stock gravy didn't really taste that good. The chicken stock gravy had more flavour.

This was pretty good. It is tough to get good gravy out of a meatloaf, and this was acceptable. I would make one note to others...the type of Chili sauce called for here is usually not too hot. Do not use "Asian" Chili sauce, that IS HOT!! The commercial brands, are not hot at all. My Grandma's recipe is more like a slightly chunky, sweet/hot homemade tomato catsup. It has things like cinnamon and cloves in it as well as some heat. So just make sure you are not missing out on a good recipe because of an incorrect ingredient.

This was great! I tweeked it a little becuase I couldn't find chili sauce so I just added a packet of meatloaf seasoning. And I had a little trouble making the gravy. I poured all of the mixture into the broth at once and it turned into a big chunck of stuff. It took me a while to stir it apart.. I would recomend slowly adding the cornstarch mixture to the broth. Otherwise everything else tasted excellent!

Another good meatloaf recipe. I added some worcestershire for extra flavor and topped the loaf with bacon. If it wouldn't have been for the gravy, I would have wanted some type of topping for the meatloaf because it would have needed the extra kick. However gravy did the trick for us.

I haven't made the meatloaf yet, as I was looking for a brown gravy recipe. The gravy was great on mashed potatoes. I can't wait to try it on the meatloaf. Very simple to make, too.

This meatloaf needs more seasonings for us. Think brown gravy is best starting with a roux instead of using cornstarch.

Made this last night for hubby and me. We both thought it was one of the most tasty meatloaf recipes we'd ever tried, but I have to agree with other posters that the gravy doesn't really seem to go with the flavour of the meat. That's OK though, that just meant there was more for the roasted garlic mashed potatoes we had with it! Yum!

Not the best meatloaf for our family. Maybe it depends on the type of chili sauce you use.It didn't go over well with my family of 7 and they aren't picky eaters. Sorry, I'll have to give this one a 2 .

Excellent! My very finicky husband and daughter LOVED it. I substituted seasoning salt for table salt, and since we "don't do spicy", I used worchesteshire sauce instead of chili sauce. This was the perfect quick and easy recipe.

Not my favorite meatloaf, but my husband did really enjoy the gravy! I found it a bit bland and seemed to be missing something. I will probably try it again but will add some spice and herb variations.
