- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Sauté mushrooms and onion with salt in skillet until dark golden-brown and liquid fully evaporates (about 8 min.).
- Add garlic; cook for 1 min. Remove mixture from heat and cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, using your hands, completely combine mushroom mixture with remaining ingredients. Shape into a loaf; place in a 9x5" loaf pan.
- Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf registers 160° (about 60 min.); temperature will increase as meatloaf stands.
