Not the usual "comfort food," I had to make it "gourmet." My husband doesn't like meatloaf, or so he thought! He loves this one, but still won't touch mashed potatoes. I usually serve it with rice or kasha, something that takes the mushroom sauce well.

  • 2
    Heat oil in 12 inch saute pan over medium high heat until oil is shimmering. Saute mushrooms until browned. Do this in small batches, so mushrooms are single layer in pan. You will have to do this in several batches and may need to heat more oil between batches. Set mushrooms aside.

    Meanwhile, make mushroom sauce. Melt butter in saucepan.
  • 10
    Gradually whisk flour to incorporate into melted butter.
  • 11
    Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to keep smooth.
