Preparing the Meatloaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish.

  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it into the prepared dish.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Making the Gravy

  2. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir, then whisk in beef broth and heavy cream.
  3. Cook until thickened, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
