A comforting and hearty dish featuring a flavorful meatloaf topped with rich mushroom gravy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a casserole dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared dish. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a thermometer reads 160°F (71°C).
  4. For the mushroom gravy, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and cream, stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste.
  6. Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the mushroom gravy.

Notes
