    Serves 6.

    1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
    2 teaspoons butter
    1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
    8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    1 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
    1/4 teaspoon pepper

    Gravy
    1 teaspoon butter
    1/2 cup diced red, yellow or green bell pepper
    1 (12 ounce) jar beef gravy
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

    In large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons butter over medium heat until hot. Add onion. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook and stir 6 to 8 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.

    On rack in broiler pan, shape beef mixture into 8 x 4-inch loaf. Bake in 350 degree F oven approximately 1 1/4 hours to medium doneness (160 degrees F).

    Meanwhile, prepare gravy. In medium saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon butter over medium heat until hot. Add bell pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add gravy and thyme; heat through.
