3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups beef broth
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 (2 1/2 pound) uncooked prepared beef, veal and pork meatloaf

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

  • Skim off any extra fat from the surface of the sauce.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat to reduce until thick, about 5 minutes.

CLASSIC MOCK MEATLOAF WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY



Classic Mock Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy image

Provided by Food Network

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

9 slices (8 ounces) commercial whole wheat bread (such as Arnold or Pepperidge Farm)
2 cups (8 ounces) walnuts
3 large eggs
3 medium onions, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 small celery rib, minced
1 small bunch parsley, stems discarded and leaves chopped
2/3 cup canned crushed tomatoes or 1 (16-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained very well
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
Generous seasoning freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups (8 ounces) thinly sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup unbleached flour
2 1/2 cups vegetables stock, store-bought or homemade
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Toast the bread slices either in the toaster or on a baking sheet placed under the broiler. Let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom with wax paper and butter the paper.
  • Tear up the toasted bread slices and make crumbs out of them in a food processor. Place in a large bowl.
  • Process the walnuts until finely ground and mix into the breadcrumbs. Combine the eggs and onions in the processor and process until fine but not liquefied. Stir into the breadcrumbs. Place the green pepper, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and oil in the processor and grind until fine but still with some texture. Stir into the loaf mixture along with the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix this all very well until evenly moistened. (The mixture may be prepared to this point and refrigerated up to 8 hours in advance.) Scrape it into the prepared loaf pan and smooth over the top. Cover the loaf with foil.
  • Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out dry. Let sit 5 minutes, then run a knife all along the sides of the loaf to help loosen it. Unmold the loaf onto a platter and remove the wax paper. Let the loaf cool 20 minutes or so before slicing it. It's best to serve the loaf warm and the gravy hot.
  • Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty. Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.
  • Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce at a lively simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that adhere to the bottom of the pan. Serve in a sauceboat.

MEATLOAF WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY(COOK'S COUNTRY)



Meatloaf With Mushroom Gravy(Cook's Country) image

Baked the meatloaf in the skillet that you sauteed mushrooms in, and once the loaf was resting, used the same skillet (and meat drippings) to build our gravy. If you're short the 2 tablespoons of meatloaf drippings needed to make the gravy, supplement them with melted butter or vegetable oil.

  • Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other desired spices.
  • Mix the meatloaf ingredients thoroughly, but do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf retain its juices.
