Chef John's recipes are helping me to beat an eating disorder. True story.

Don’t ever stop being you Chef John. You have cured my depression. Amen!

"I didn't even pretend to have a vegetable side dish." My man.

Chef John, I was gonna try and be clever but I'm just gonna go with heartfelt, I love you dude.

years ago, I had a sister in law, that swore that Meatloaf was best served with mushroom sauce over it. I will try this, I have been making my meatloaf for years from a Sunset magazine recipe , using Chile salsa over it. This might give me a delicious new reason to love meatloaf

Are you feeling OK, Chef John? I noticed you used no cayenne or red pepper in this recipe. Anyhow, it sounds and looks delicious!

So. It's one big-ass Salisbury steak! Looks great!

I'm glad to see a cooking video where the cook was not satisfied with it and is determined to continue to improve on his recipes. Well done! I've always been intimidated by videos where cooks always do things right and never make mistakes. It makes me feel like I have to follow everything to the letter. Seeing this video just shows that anything goes and next time it'll be better!

YOURE A NATURAL COMEDIAN CHEF JOHN!

Wow!...comfort food central right there!

Love this recipe! Thank you for posting it

I love your honesty. If you don’t like something you created, you’re not one who’s going to elevate your product in order to look and feel good about it out of sheer vanity and narcissism. You actually critique yourself fairly, nonchalantly inform us about it, and move on. Absolutely refreshing, you are a shining example for many to emulate.

This guy is great!

Chef John two things I love about you the beautiful/flavorful way you season up all of your dishes and your extremely "DRY" Humor.

I love that you share with us recipes you are trying, successes and those that need adjustments. It makes me feel a little braver about trying something new in the kitchen...like cooking. :)

"spoon me over the meatloaf please!" -creamy mushroom sauce. I like how the chef was compelled to do what the food was telling him to, even though he'd know it won't be the best idea! I do those little ill-adviced decisions in my cooking sometimes too !

You learn every time you cook. Thank you Chef John.

Looks incredible. Thank you for keeping it real!

Yum yum! That looks really good! I've done mushroom gravy with chicken like a million times but I would never have thought to try it over meatloaf. I'm definitely going to try it now!

Good day Chef JOhn. I made this meal last night which was a hit. I used beef/pork meat to make my meatloaf that my grandmother and daughter ate. I had to make a mini beef meatloaf for my mom. I bought a different type of mushroom, which I cooked in butter, then I used cream of mushroom soup and half-n-half to the mushrooms. Added fresh ground pepper and seasoning salt to taste. I paired the meatloaf with new potatoes and french green beans. Dare I say ENJOYED!!!

oh my god this looks so good. Chef John continues to inspire

Thanks for this recipe Chef John! I didn't do it exactly as you did but it still turned out... delicious! The inspiration this video gave me allowed me to prepare a meatloaf the whole family enjoyed. Differences were: I used only beef, I seared the meatloaf first, I braised it instead of roasting it in the oven, and I had no mushrooms so I just did a sort of creamy vegetable sauce. Still followed your technique loosely and it turned out great. Thanks again and as always, we enjoyed!

Man, looks awesome. The kind of meal you’d love to come home to after working outside in the cold all day. Some nice green beans and yeast rolls alongside this would have me running home.

This beats my cream of Mushroom soup recipe :-) I love how you talk about the things you would do differently next time. This looks amazing. Another one of your beautiful recipes to favourite.

My husband loved it! Another winning dish by Chef John.

Beautiful meatloaf with mushroom sauce! Yummy!😻

He can cook, his sense of humour is excellent and he wants me to have joy....I think i've found the perfect man!

I learn and laugh so much with all of your videos. Thanks so much!

I just made this for my Turkey meatloaf and it was so good I ate 4 slices the moment it cooled. This may be my go to recipe for mushroom gravy.

Don't you mean a mushroux Come on Chef John you really let me down there

That looks amazing.

Really like adding the flour to the mushrooms before the stock. Good idea!

Made the mushroom gravy last night, I used over salisbury steaks made with saltines , onion , and egg browned on both sides then cooked off in the oven in the mushroom gravy. Delicious!

That creamy mushroom gravy really gave it that drool-factor! YUM!

Looks delicious!

Best of this month foodwishes

That looks amazing

I'm going to try this - Thanks!

That looks delicious!!!

Just made it. awesome job

Ill be giving this a try. Nice !

First time watching Chef John. I'm a fan.

Beautiful alternative, thanks 🐨

OMG This looks So Good!! I have my own recipe for meatloaf and I bet cooking it this way with that mushroom sauce instead of the homemade BBQ as a glaze that I usually do will be Deliciously Awesome. Doing this tonight!! Thank You John!! You are definitely a Master at your Food Craft!! 🤗🤗

OMG, that looks so good! Going to give it a go for Easter dinner!

Favorite video. Hands down

oh chef John....your voice!!!...yummie!!!

Just made the pork stew, next... this meat loaf. I love the fall because i can comfortably turn my oven on, heat my tiny apartment and end up with a delicious meal; after my long walk with my loved one, in one of my areas beautiful state parks. Life can be good, even in the worst of times, if you make it so. Thank you chef John.

Chef Jon, I'm dying to try this recipe but I'm anxious to see your updated version you said you'd do.

I know that you have already authored a cookbook, I have it, but I wish you would compile another from Food Wishes.

Chef Jon, I made this and loved it! Please do your update on the 3 meatloaf with mushroom sauce

Best recipe ever.

I made meatloaf last week, I had some mushrooms that needed using. I processed them in a Cuisinart, incorporated into the meatloaf. It was awesome!

I'm really enjoying your channel.Thanks God I find You.

Great technique! I always end up with a dry meatloaf! Thank you Jef John!

Haven't put this in the oven yet, but I tasted the gravy and oh my goodness. It's so good! I had to do some tweaks since I didn't have beef broth on hand but it's delicious, nonetheless. Now I just need your improved three meats meatloaf recipe to seal the deal!

I know exactly how you feel Chef John. I have many of those times where I cannot resist the urge to glaze everything with my cream of mushroom sauce.

I make this years ago and still like it!

Potatoes are vegetables so that's a healthy meal! Looks tasty too.

I love these videos!And I adore the corny jokes with the drums!

I have never had a meatloaf I enjoyed, but that looks good enough to give it a shot

Love your recipes! :-)

so thrilled to see a new recipe at my youtube homepage! now im hungry even though i just had lunch ;P

Okay, now I definitely have to try this.

anyone notice at the end he said "keep the oven nice and moist"? xD haha love chef john!

Maybe this is an obvious suggestion, but I usually add mushroom gravy during last half hour. That way I can carefully drain excess fat and gunk that oozes out of the meatloaf while it bakes in oven for first hour before adding the gravy. Does add one more sauce pan to the process.

great idea

Oh Thank you its was much easier than i thought !!!

Great technique. Looks nice and moist for sure. What didn't you like about the taste of the meatloaf?

Excellent job. You took disparate principles and created a new technique, braised meatloaf. I say sir, well done. Bring on the potato dish.

Way good!!!

This is great!!!

looks nice and tasty , performed with a good chunk of ease , well done ?

I've made this for 50 years. It was quick and easy, hearty meal. I use fresh mushroom if I have them. But I use mushroom soup and cook browned patties in it until cooked.

Oh man, that looks good...

Looks good,LOVE MEATLOAF.

That sauce, with pieces of Schnitzel!!!! Now there is a recipe!

This is how my mom made meatballs and i do too...we make a mushroom sauce base and baked the meatballs in it. Delicious.

that meatloaf looks so good!!!! :D

You're totally making me a chef John! I made this! BRILLIANT (but I added steamed carrots... I was pretending)

I always love it when there's a roux.

another great vid

Looks amazing !!! Will try but I live in Texas so really not feeling turning on the oven lol maybe in ninja smart oven

Great start for the recipe. I wouldn't put all the sauce in the with the meatloaf so it doesn't get all that fat in it. I think you did the right thing putting the sauce on top of the loaf first. It looked fantastic out of the oven.

I like this 😍😍 yea i am cooking this for my family 😘😘thanks for the idea 😀😀

Oh my gosh, now you are a man after my own heart! ;)

Chef John! So happy to see shitake in your recipe here. I love shitake! a suggestion...the stalk of the shitake maybe a little tough compared to the top but it's not tough to the extent of being inedible, rather on the contrary! and I definitely believe, the stalks have the most flavor! perhaps chop the stalks up really finely and add to the mince meat or to the sauce. the meatloaf here looks delicious of course :) i wish i had an oven....sigh!

I'm glad you mentioned the thing about the stems.. I was gonna cook it whole today. xD

Excellent

I made that mushroom sauce for a bath :) simmering in it right now :)

Trying it!

sause looks so good, wonder if I could pour this on chicken or steak?

absolutely ....... I will enjoy it

"I didn't even pretend to have a vegetable side dish"

This is my version of Salisbury steak. I’ve been making it for ages and no one ever didn’t like it :) A slight variation of the sauce is the basis of my venison or beef Swiss steak as well (no tomatoes!!! )

greatest chef iin the world

amazing.......

I remember growing up in Oregon when shiitake mushrooms where over $90 a pound it was fun looking for them in the hills..kinda fun..

Whatever happened to the three meatloaf recipe/video someone promised us here? Chef John, you are, after all, the Pete Rose of your meatloaf!!!

Beautiful
