Making Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy can be a delightful experience. Here’s how to create this amazing dish step by step:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a lightly greased baking dish.
4. Bake the Meatloaf: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
5. Sauté the Mushrooms: While the meatloaf bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the cooked mushrooms and stir well. Gradually add beef broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Allow it to simmer until thickened.
7. Add Cream: Stir in heavy cream, mixing until you achieve a rich gravy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish the Meatloaf: Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice it into generous portions.
9. Serve with Gravy: Pour the mushroom gravy generously over the sliced meatloaf.
10. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added freshness and presentation.
