Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, 1/4 cup oat flour, 1 egg, 1/4 cup diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Press the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 45 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven, let rest 10 minutes. While resting, sauté 1/2 cup mushrooms in 1 tablespoon oil until golden, then brush over the meatloaf to create a glossy glaze.
