Started out as usual, with my mise en place...from left to right, minced onion, garlic and horseradish, http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/glace-de-viande_topic1100.html" rel="nofollow - glace de viande , breadcrumbs (soaked in 1/2 cup milk) and eggs with salt and pepper. The meat is all beef, because it was on sale this weekend.

I melted the http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/glace-de-viande_topic1100.html" rel="nofollow - e and mixed it in with the eggs, then tossed everything in my trusty old kitchenaid to see if it really had survived the weekend's "incident"...I'm happy to report it performed flawlessly, and I'm confident it's at 100 %.

Mixed things up really good and then formed a loaf in a greased glass baking dish.

Then into the oven for an hour and 15 minutes, or until it reaches 160°F...super easy meal to make.

Once the loaf reached about 110° I figured we were about 20 minutes out, so I started the mushroom gravy. Melted 4 TBSP butter, added the mushrooms and salted them so they would release all their moisture, then cooked them until they were almost dry.



At this point, I deglazed with a slurp or two of marsala and added the http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/glace-de-viande_topic1100.html" rel="nofollow - ...mixed that well, then added two cups of beef stock and brought it to a boil...simmered for a few minutes, and then thickened with cornstarch and water and simmered a few minutes more.

Served it all up with some green beans and smashed red potatoes, and pigged out!


I am truly at a loss for words to describe the effect the http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/glace-de-viande_topic1100.html" rel="nofollow - has on both the meatloaf and the sauce. The flavor paired nicely with the horseradish and worcestershire in the loaf, and was beyond description in the mushroom sauce.
I would happily sit down to a dinner of bread with mushroom sauce spooned over it. It was exquisite!
If you have not made http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/glace-de-viande_topic1100.html" rel="nofollow - yet....you really should give it a try.
