INGREDIENTS
2 pounds ground chuck
1 pound ground pork
1 medium onion (approximately 1 cup chopped)
Salt
Pepper
¼ teaspoon curry powder
2 eggs
2-3 dashes of Maagi seasoning (optional)
3 slices rye bread or day-old kaiser rolls.
Breadcrumbs
2 bullion cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 can mushrooms
Flour

PREPARATION

  • Combine and mix meats in a large bowl.
  • Add salt, pepper, curry and Maagi.
  • Put bread in a bowl with warm water and soak for 5 minutes. Crumble bread into meat mixture (leave bread a little wet). Mix well.
  • Form two loaves, then roll in breadcrumbs.
  • Take 2 tablespoons olive oil and brown the two loaves in a stovetop Dutch oven. Brown on both sides. If there’s too much fat in pan, remove excess but reserve for later.
  • Add 2 cups of water to pan. Add 2 bullion cubes. Cover pan and bring to boil, then turn down to low heat.  Cook for 1.5 hours in Dutch oven. Turn meatloaves once.
  • After the meatloaves are done, remove to platter and cover with foil. Makes 2 loaves.

Note: If the remaining liquid in the pan has cooked down, add some water.

  • Add 2 tablespoons flour a small bowl. Mix in water to cream consistency. Add to pan.
  • Mix thoroughly with whisk. Add seasoning to taste, then strain into bowl.
  • Drain mushrooms, then add to pan. Add gravy to heat it through.
