This wonderful comfort food is perfect for mushroom lovers. Typically I like meatloaf with a sweet and tangy glaze, but meatloaf with gravy is totally delicious too. Especially when served with mashed potatoes.

Combo of Ground Beef and Pork

Using a combination of ground beef and pork makes a more flavorful meatloaf and a really moist meatloaf. Note: You can use all ground beef if you wish. If using all ground beef, don’t use ground beef that is too lean or the meatloaf will be dry. I recommend using ground beef that is no leaner then 85%.

Don’t Overmix

The secret to tender, delicous meatloaf is not to overmix the ingredients. Just gently stir the ingredients together until they are evenly dispersed.

Mushroom Gravy

You can use any type of mushrooms for the gravy. I typically use white mushrooms or cremini, but shitake are good too.

You’ll use 2 tablespoons of meatloaf drippings for the gravy, plus some butter, flour for thickening, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder for flavor, and just a little heavy cream to make it just a touch creamy.

I also like to add a little balsamic vinegar to perk up the flavor of the gravy. Use a good quality balsamic vinegar or it may make the gravy taste worse, not better. Note: The vinegar can be left out and the gravy will be perfectly delicious without it.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and can be reheated in a microwave.
