Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Dip the French bread into the milk.
Squeeze to release excess and then tear into pieces.
Place bread pieces, and remaining meatloaf ingredients together in a bowl.
Mix well.
Place in a baking pan and form into a loaf.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 - 75 minutes or until a thermometer inserted reaches 165 degrees.
Remove from oven.
Reserve two tablespoons pan drippings.
Turn oven to warm setting and return meatloaf to oven to keep warm while making the gravy.

Gravy:

Place 2 tablespoons meatloaf pan drippings in a saucepan.
Heat over medium heat.
Add in crimini mushrooms and cook just until they start to brown and release their liquid.
Add in garlic, cook just until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over the top and cook for 1 minute.
Whisk in beef broth, heavy cream, thyme and Worcestershire.
Simmer just until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove meatloaf from oven, slice, spoon sauce over the top and serve.
