Recipe for Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:

ground beef and beef broth
quick oats
milk, butter, and an egg
Worcestershire sauce
garlic powder, onion powder, and flour
sage, celery salt, kosher salt, and black pepper
onion and garlic cloves
mushrooms (crimini or button)
sour cream

A white gravy laden with mushrooms has been poured over these slices of meatloaf.

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Place all meatloaf ingredients in a bowl and then mix together with your hands or a large wooden spoon. Form into a loaf shape on a foil-lined baking sheet.

The cooking time will be determined by the shape and size of the meatloaf. I typically shape meatloaf relatively flat and oblong and it usually cooks in about 65-70 minutes. A more traditional 4x4x8 loaf will take about 90 minutes.

Regardless, continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 170°F. I strongly recommend using a meat thermometer to determine the cooking time the first time you make this recipe.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Then, add the onions and garlic. Cook while stirring occasionally until the onions begin to soften.

Meatloaf Recipe with Mushrooms

Add the mushrooms and continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes, until the mushrooms have browned and the onions are tender. Transfer to a plate or small bowl.

While the mushrooms are cooking, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and flour. Pour the mixture into the hot empty skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Place the sour cream in a small bowl or large glass measuring cup and ladle about ½ cup of the hot broth into the sour cream, whisk until smooth. Pour the sour cream mixture into the hot pan of sauce and whisk until smooth.

Return the mushroom mixture to the sauce and stir to combine. Then, taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve the sauce over the meatloaf, along with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
