Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2
   Set aside six whole mushrooms, then mince the rest.
3. 3
   Mix ground beef, minced mushrooms, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl until well combined. Spread 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Press the whole mushrooms into the meat with the stems facing down. Top with remaining meat and pat gently to combine with the bottom section.
4. 4
   Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
