Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef (or your choice of ground meat)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the mushroom gravy:
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-55 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on top.
  3. While the meatloaf bakes, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for an additional minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth, then add heavy cream or milk. Simmer until thickened.
  4. Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with warm mushroom gravy and garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • You can add grated cheese or chopped herbs to enhance flavor.
  • Use lean ground turkey or chicken for a healthier version.
  • Make the mushroom gravy ahead and reheat when serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
