How to Make Blue Plate Meat Loaf With Mushroom Pan Gravy
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13 inch flameproof baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and 0.5 lbs ground pork. Gently mix with clean hands until just combined.
- Rinse an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with water. Pack the meat mixture tightly into the wet pan.
- Carefully unmold the meatloaf into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Spread 3 tablespoons tomato sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F (74°C), about 10-15 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced) and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned (about 8 minutes). Set aside.
- Transfer the cooked meatloaf to a platter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Skim off excess fat from the baking pan, reserving 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Add melted butter if necessary to reach 2 tablespoons.
- Return the pan to the stovetop over medium-low heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to create a roux.
- Cook the roux for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Whisk in 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking frequently.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the reserved mushrooms and simmer until the gravy slightly thickens (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the meatloaf and serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme and drizzled generously with the mushroom gravy.
