How to Make Skinny Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, mushrooms, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into two loaves and place them in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  5. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mushroom sauce:
  6. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  8. Gradually whisk in the broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle generously with the mushroom sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
