Use veal, pork and beef.

Or just use chicken or veal scallops.

aka “Meatloaf Marsala”

Just doesn’t have the right ring to it.

Works for me since I don’t care for tomato sauces meatloaf. All about the mushroom gravy. Marsala would work fine. Thanks for the idea!!

This is my favorite meatloaf recipe, from The Silver Palate people. Half a cup of ketchup in, not on top of, the meatloaf. I don’t do the water bath. Just roast it. I’ve also just used ground pork instead of the sausage meat.

I use the Lipton onion mushroom soup recipe, but mix up the meat, pork and beef.

Sounds like a great recipe, but the salt in the soup mix would be an no-no for me.

Maybe porcini powder…

Or I could grind some of the dried mushrooms I picked up from Costco recently. Way cheaper than SH.

Time to experiment. Mr wtg has been making noises about meatloaf.

I have some SH porcini powder and have not been impressed. You might be better off to use fresh mushrooms and onions and a bit less water. Throw some umami powder in.

This is my new go-to meatloaf recipe. Prep is a bit more involved than most recipes but the taste is there and it holds together well.

That's along the lines of the Market Street Meatloaf I posted above, but made with turkey rather than beef and pork. I really like the moistness that the diced sauteed veggies give it. Will try the Cozy Cook version!
