Meatloaf with Mushroom gravy
Had about 8oz of mushrooms and needed to use them, and this seemed like a good idea at the time, is a fairly light consistency and not dense or heavy
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 80/20 lean
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms sliced thin and chopped
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1-2 eggs
- 2 tbls Equal parts flour and butter
- 1 (14.5 oz) can beef broth
- to taste Salt and pepper
- Ketchup
Steps
Sauté onion and 1/4 of the mushrooms in a bit of olive oil until onions are translucent and mushrooms have browned a bit, set aside to cool
Combine ground meat, cooled mushroom mixture, bread crumbs, eggs, and season with salt and pepper mix thoroughly
Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish and form meat mixture into a loaf brush with ketchup
Bake in a 350deg oven for about 1 hour or until meat thermometer registers 135deg then remove from oven and rest for about 10 minutes before slicing
While meatloaf is in the oven melt butter in a heavy bottom sauce pan and sauté mushrooms until most of the moisture has evaporated, sprinkle with flour to make a roux (use more flour and butter if you want a thicker gravy) and cook for a couple of minutes add beef broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer stirring until gravy thickens, adjust seasoning
