Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, port wine demi-glace, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Buttered Broccoli Preparation

  1. 8

    Steam the Broccoli

    In a pot with a steamer basket, fill with water and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and steam for about 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender.

  2. 9

    Add Butter and Season

    Remove the broccoli from the steamer and toss with butter and salt to taste.
