Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix gently with hands until combined, avoiding overmixing.
2. Step 2: Transfer mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf. Bake for 45 minutes.
3. Step 3: While meatloaf bakes, prepare gravy: heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until tender and golden, then add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir for 1 minute to form a roux.
4. Step 4: Gradually whisk in 1 cup beef broth and 1/4 cup milk, then bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
5. Step 5: Remove meatloaf from oven, let rest 10 minutes, then slice and serve with mushroom gravy.
