How to Make Nana's Meatloaf With Wild Mushroom Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all meatloaf ingredients until well mixed.
  3. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a greased 4x4x9 inch baking pan. Gently pack the mixture down.
  4. Bake for 50 minutes.
  5. While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the gravy: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Add 8 ounces of sliced wild mushrooms and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook until mushrooms are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram and remove from heat.
  8. Once the meatloaf is done, carefully remove it from the oven. Spoon off approximately 2 tablespoons of rendered fat from the pan and reserve.
  9. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the reserved meatloaf fat and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened.
  11. Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Discard solids.
  12. Return the strained gravy to the saucepan. Add the cooked mushrooms and simmer until the gravy has reached your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  13. Serve the meatloaf topped with the delicious wild mushroom gravy.
