Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a casserole dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared dish. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 160°F (71°C).
- For the mushroom gravy: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for about 2 minutes before gradually whisking in beef broth. Cook until thickened.
- Once the meatloaf is done baking, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the hot mushroom gravy.
