meatloaf rollatini with wild mushroom wine sauce
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.
