Meatloaf with Mushroom gravy

Had about 8oz of mushrooms and needed to use them, and this seemed like a good idea at the time, is a fairly light consistency and not dense or heavy

Ingredient

1 1/2 lbs

fresh mushrooms sliced thin and chopped

1/2

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Sauté onion and 1/4 of the mushrooms in a bit of olive oil until onions are translucent and mushrooms have browned a bit, set aside to cool

* Step 2

Combine ground meat, cooled mushroom mixture, bread crumbs, eggs, and season with salt and pepper mix thoroughly

* Step 3

Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish and form meat mixture into a loaf brush with ketchup

* Step 4

Bake in a 350deg oven for about 1 hour or until meat thermometer registers 135deg then remove from oven and rest for about 10 minutes before slicing

* Step 5

While meatloaf is in the oven melt butter in a heavy bottom sauce pan and sauté mushrooms until most of the moisture has evaporated, sprinkle with flour to make a roux (use more flour and butter if you want a thicker gravy) and cook for a couple of minutes add beef broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer stirring until gravy thickens, adjust seasoning
