Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your 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, chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared dish.

Baking

  • Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 160°F (71°C).

Making the Gravy

  • While the meatloaf is baking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth and cream, stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste.

Serving

  • Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thick portions.
  • Ladle the mushroom gravy over each serving and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for longer storage.
