• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs

• 0.25 cup ketchup

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.

Step 3

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, or place it in a loaf pan.

Step 4

Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the wild mushroom gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped wild mushrooms to the saucepan and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned.

Step 8

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until thickened.

Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
