Meatloaf with Mushroom Sauce
3/4 pound ground chuck
3/4 pound ground pork
3/4 pound ground veal
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 slices bread, crusts removed
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1 large hard-cooked egg, peeled
2 tablespoons diced onion
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups beef broth
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meats; blend with the finely chopped
onion and set aside.
Tear the trimmed bread into small pieces; soak in the milk until most of the
milk has been absorbed. In a medium bowl, combine the soaked bread with the
beaten eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. With your hands, blend
the egg mixture thoroughly with the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Place
one-third of the meat mixture on a baking sheet (with sides), mounding it
slightly in the center. Form mixture into an oval shape. Place the hard-cooked
egg in the center; mound the remaining meat on the top and pack down. Bake
meatloaf in a preheated 400° oven for one hour.
While the meatloaf is baking, sauté the diced onion and mushrooms in the oil
until tender. Add the flour; cook until lightly browned. Add the broth and
simmer for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve,
slice the meatloaf; top with mushroom sauce.
Meatloaf serves 6.
