A savory meatloaf mixture is studded with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic and topped off with a creamy stroganoff-style sauce. This Meatloaf with Stroganoff Sauce is a delicious take on the classic comfort food.
My inspiration for this recipe came from a pretty surprising source. Asian food.
One of my boys recently brought home lunch from a brand new local Asian supermarket. It was a hamburger patty served over rice, topped with mushroom gravy and a fried egg. This Japanese hamburger steak is known as “Hambagu” it inspired me to create something I could feed my family that would carry the same flavors as his tasty lunch.
And, just like that, the idea for this recipe was born. Instead of hamburger patties, I went with meatloaf and instead of rice, I went with mashed potatoes, because… potatoes. We love ’em! I didn’t include a fried egg to keep the integrity of my marriage intact and decided to stroganoff-up the sauce because I just knew it would be incredible.
And, my friends, it is! A big departure from my source of inspiration but seriously, delicious.
The first task at hand is to sauté a package of cremini mushrooms with diced onion, minced garlic, and fresh Italian parsley. Half of the mushroom mixture is folded into the flavorful meatloaf mixture and the other half is reserved for the simple stroganoff sauce that is quickly put together once the meatloaf comes out of the oven.
A time saving cleanup tip! I like to line a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with heavy duty foil, spoon the meatloaf mixture on top of the foil and use my hands to form it into a football shape like you see in the image above. Baking meatloaf on foil allows you to easily lift it out, transfer it to a serving platter, and toss the grease.
You could absolutely serve this with rice or egg noodles, just like beef stroganoff.
However you serve it, it will be wonderful!

Instructions
- Line a 13- x 9-inch or similar sized baking dish with foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
