INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet, add the mushroom
stems and saute over moderate heat, stirring, about 5 minutes or till most
of their liquid has evaporated. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic,
thyme and rosemary, reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes, till
vegetables are soft and liquid has evaporated. Preheat oven to 350. Place
the meats in a large mixing bowl, add the sauteed vegetables and mix
lightly. Add the mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire, Tabasco, salt and pepper
to taste, eggs and breadcrumbs, and mix with hands till blended thoroughly.
Shape the mixture into a firm, thick oval loaf, place in a shallow baking
or gratin dish, drape bacon over the top, and bake 1 hour. Remove the bacon
strips and continue baking 20 - 30 minutes longer, depending on how thick
the loaf is and how crusty you want the exterior to be. Shortly before the
meat loaf is removed from the oven, heat the 2 tablespoons of butter in a
small skillet, add the reserved mushroom caps and saute, stirring, 2
minutes or till nicely glazed. Transfer the meat loaf to a large serving
platter, arrange olives over the top and garnish the edges with the
mushroom caps.
