Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 green bell peppers, diced
  • ⅓ cup carrots, diced
  • ½ cup onions, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 lbs ground pork
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp thyme

 For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 ½ cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups beef broth
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Saute All the Veggies:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the peppers, carrots, onion, and garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare the Meatloaf Mix:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add all of the meatloaf ingredients, including the sautéed veggies. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly combined, but do not overmix.

Bake the Meatloaf:

  • Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, add the meat mixture, and press gently into the pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Make the Mushroom Gravy:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion, cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the flour and stir to coat the ingredients. Slowly whisk in the beef broth. Continue whisking until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley.

Serve:

  • Cut the meatloaf into thick slices, drizzle with mushroom gravy, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker gravy, turn the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
