Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a lined baking sheet or in a loaf pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until cooked through, and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mushroom gravy. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until it thickens.
Stir in the heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
Once the meatloaf is done, slice it and serve with the mushroom gravy poured on top.

Notes

For a lighter option, swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.

You can experiment with different mushrooms like shiitake or cremini for a unique flavor.

For extra herbs, adding thyme or rosemary to the meatloaf mixture gives it a nice twist.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
