Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 8 ounces, sliced Button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat mixture.

Step 3

Press half of the meat mixture into the loaf pan, creating an even layer.

Step 4

Place the Swiss cheese slices over the meat layer, leaving about a half-inch border along the edges.

Step 5

Top with the remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges around the cheese and form a solid loaf.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mushroom gravy. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.

Step 8

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 9

Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve slices of the meatloaf topped with the mushroom gravy and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
