This was ok, but not great. I followed the meat loaf to a tee, and I’d suggest frying a small bit to taste taste, it needed more salt. It is nice and light, though.
The gravy was tasty, since I did NOT use both the flour and the cornstarch. (TY commenters) Even doing that, I used at least a full cup of milk to get it thin enough.
After eating it the first time, I used a stick blender to puree about half the gravy, then added back into the rest for the second meal. A vast improvement.
I will make this again, but I’ll use this as a jumping off point.

In reply to Sandra. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
