Meatloaf Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Meatloaf

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped Hamakua mushrooms, onion, garlic, beaten egg, bread crumbs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

2. 2

   Shape and Bake

   Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

3. 3

   Make the Mash

   While the meatloaf is baking, boil the russet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Mash with butter and heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

4. 4

   Cook the Carrots

   In a small saucepan, steam the keiki carrots until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

5. 5

   Prepare the Onion Rings

   In a bowl, coat onion slices with panko bread crumbs. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the onion rings until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Make the Gravy

   In a skillet, sauté any leftover chopped Hamakua mushrooms with a bit of butter. Add flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in beef broth. Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the meatloaf and serve with russet mash, steamed keiki carrots, panko onion rings, and drizzle with mushroom gravy.
