Creamy Mushroom Meatloaf

Creamy Mushroom Meatloaf pairs tender, juicy meatloaf with a rich shiitake and rosemary gravy that’s built right in the pan, so the drippings deepen its flavor. The sauce is velvety with a hint of herb and beefy depth, perfect for cool-weather dinners or a comforting weekend meal served with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.

Creamy Mushroom Meatloaf
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until the mushrooms start to brown, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the fresh rosemary. Add the flour and stir to coat the mushrooms; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Whisk in the beef broth, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

  5. 5

    Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a simmer. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat and stir in the heavy cream.

  7. 7

    Slide the prepared meatloaf into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the top of the meatloaf.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven until the center is no longer pink, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  9. 9

    Remove the pan from the oven and gently transfer the meatloaf to a serving platter.

  10. 10

    Skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.

  11. 11

    Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce until thick, about 5 minutes.
