Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and brown sugar. Spread this glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and the juices run clear.
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the gravy by whisking the gravy mix with water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the gravy starts to thicken. Lower the heat and keep warm.
Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of meatloaf with the warm gravy drizzled over the top.
