Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Meatloaf:
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined.
- Press the mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
-
Bake the Meatloaf:
- Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 1 hour or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
-
Make the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:
- While the meatloaf is baking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until mushrooms are golden.
- Stir in heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

- Serve slices topped with creamy mushroom sauce and garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
- You can add a mixture of ground pork and beef for a more flavorful meatloaf.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a mix of milk and flour.
