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
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared dish. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F (71°C).
- While the meatloaf is baking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and cream, stirring until the gravy is velvety, about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste.
- Once the meatloaf is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with mushroom gravy ladled over each portion.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meatloaf for the best texture. Consider using high-quality beef and fresh mushrooms for optimal flavor.
