Mushroom Gravy Meatloaf

This simple meat loaf uses lean ground beef and still manages to be juicy and tender. Serve with mashed potatoes for classic comfort food vibes!

Ingredients for Meat Loaf:

2 lbs lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1/2 cup bread crumbs

2 eggs

1 tbsp worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tsps dried thyme

1 tbsps dried parsley

salt and pepper to taste

 

Glaze:

3 tbsps ketchup

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

 

Mushroom Gravy:

4 oz mushrooms, sliced

1 1/2 tbsps butter

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup beef broth

1 tbsp dry onion soup mix

2 tbsps flour

 

Mix the ingredients for the meat loaf together. Wet a 9 X 5" loaf pan and pack the mixture in, not jam packed but firmly, then turn it out onto a lined baking sheet. You get the loaf shape, but with lots of surface area to brown and glaze. Bake in a 375°F oven for 50 minutes.

Mix the ketchup and balsamic together. After 50 minutes brush the meat loaf all over with glaze and return to the oven for 20 minutes, glazing a couple of times.

While glazing the loaf make the mushroom gravy. Melt butter in a small saucepan or frying pan and add the sliced mushrooms and garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned. Mix the beef broth, dry onion soup mix and flour together and stir into the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes to thicken.

Let the meatloaf rest 5-10 minutes before slicing and serve with mushroom gravy. And mashed potatoes...you gotta have mashed potatoes!

Serves 6-8
