Ingredients
1
cup fresh sliced mushrooms
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
Directions
1.
Take a large bowl and mix ground beef, bread crumbs, chili sauce, egg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Though messy, the ideal way to mix it is with your hands. Lightly pack a 8x4 inch loaf pan with the mixture.
2.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the meat loaf pan on the rack in the oven and bake it for an hour, or until done.The meat is well cooked when it no longer looks pink. Carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before it is served.
3.
To prepare the gravy, start by melting butter over low heat in a saucepan. Add the onions and mushrooms and stir until cooked over medium flame.
4.
Add the beef broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Gently stir the broth from time to time.
5.
In a small bowl, mix the corn starch and water, and add it to the broth. Cook for about one more minute, and turn off the heat once the gravy is thick Carefully cut the meatloaf into thick slices. While some serve the meatloaf slices topped with gravy, others serve both separately.
