One Pot Meat Loaf Revised

I am always updating and revising my meat loaf. This time hubby said it was so much better. I added red gravy and red spuds. I add salt and pepper in various stages. It's up to you how much you need. Always taste the gravy and adjust seasonings.
I hope you try this one.

Two cooked meat loaf logs

Meat loaf served with red potatoes and red gravy along with fresh wedges of cucumbers.

1/2 large onion
