To prepare this frozen meatloaf and gravy, remove the outer packaging. You can heat it in the microwave according to the package directions, usually by piercing the film and cooking for a few minutes until thoroughly heated. Alternatively, it can be heated in a conventional oven by transferring the contents to an oven-safe dish and baking until hot. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving. The gravy is usually already integrated or provided in a separate compartment.
