Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Mushroom Meatloaf Dinner.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a sturdy oven-safe skillet, melt a generous pat of butter over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Toss in the sliced shiitake mushrooms along with a pinch of salt, allowing them to sizzle and turn golden brown for about five minutes.
Step 4
Next, introduce the fragrant chopped fresh rosemary, stirring it in to release its aromatic essence.
Step 5
Dust the mushrooms with flour, stirring to coat them evenly, and let this mixture cook for an additional three minutes.
Step 6
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, adding half a cup at a time while continuously whisking to ensure a smooth sauce without lumps.
Step 7
Raise the heat to high and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken for a few minutes.
Step 8
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 9
Once the sauce is ready, remove the skillet from the heat and blend in the heavy cream until the mixture is beautifully combined.
Step 10
Gently place your prepared meatloaf into the skillet, spooning the luscious sauce generously over the top.
Step 11
Slide the skillet into your preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour and a half, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 12
An instant-read thermometer should register at least 160°F (70°C) for perfect doneness.
Step 13
When the time is up, carefully take the skillet out of the oven and transfer the meatloaf to a serving platter.
Step 14
Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce, then return the skillet to the heat, bringing the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 15
Let it reduce for about five minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 16
Serve this delightful dish with the rich sauce drizzled over the top, and enjoy a comforting meal that warms the soul.
