Ingredients

For the Mushroom Sauce:

¼ cup butter

2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1 pinch salt

1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 ½ cups beef broth

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup heavy cream

For the Meatloaf:

1 (2 ½ pound) uncooked prepared beef, veal, and pork meatloaf (or your preferred meatloaf mixture)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Prepare the Mushroom Sauce: In an oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in sliced shiitake mushrooms and salt, cooking for 5 minutes until they begin to brown. Add chopped rosemary and cook for another minute. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream.

Add the Meatloaf: Place the uncooked meatloaf into the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Spoon sauce over the top, ensuring it’s well-covered.

Bake the Meatloaf: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 1 ½ hours, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

Remove and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and transfer the meatloaf to a serving platter. Skim off excess fat from the sauce, then bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Serve and Enjoy: Pour the thickened sauce over the meatloaf and serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Mushroom Variations: You can swap shiitake mushrooms for button mushrooms or any other variety.

Leaner Meatloaf: Use lean turkey or a lighter meat mixture if desired.

Herb Variations: Add thyme, oregano, or garlic for more depth of flavor.
