Cajunmushroomloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, minced mushrooms, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, and salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of a loaf pan. Arrange 6 whole mushrooms stem down into meat. Top with rest of meat, patting to combine both halves.
• Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until done. Internal temperature should measure 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when done.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in fresh rosemary. Add flour and stir to coat the mushrooms; cook and stir for about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in beef broth, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
• Turn heat to high and bring the sauce to a simmer. Simmer a few minutes until sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream.
• Slide prepared meatloaf into the sauce. Spoon sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Remove pan from the oven and gently remove meatloaf to a serving platter.
• Skim off any extra fat from the surface of the sauce.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat to reduce until thick, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350*F.
• Put the butter into a 4-quart pot and place over medium heat. When butter has melted, add onion, garlic and thyme sprigs. Saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the pot, stir, and raise the heat a little. Cook the mixture until the liquid has cooked off, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the cream, parsley and Cajun seasoning and whisk to combine. Add the mushroom mixture one serving spoonful at a time to temper the egg mixture, stirring well after each addition. Add the breadcrumbs and stir well.
• Spray the loaf pan with cooking spray, line with wax(or parchment) paper, and pour the mixture into the pan. Set in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with water halfway up the loaf pan. Place into the top half of the oven and bake until the center is set, about 60-70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 15 minutes before turning out onto a plate to slice.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper toweling. Rub with Cajun spice and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet or saute pan with an oven safe handle, and saute scallions and mushrooms until they are tender and the mushrooms begin to give up their juices. With a slotted spoon remove mushrooms and scallions to a utility platter and keep covered (with aluminum foil or a lid) in a warm place. (Leave room on the platter for the chicken.) Add seasoned chicken to the skillet, searing all sides. Deglaze the pan with white wine, let sizzle for a few minutes and spoon the wine and juices over the chicken to coat, and then cover pan and transfer to oven. Bake until fork tender, about 25 minutes.
• While the chicken is in the oven, heat the mushroom soup in a small saucepan and whisk in demi-glace to give it additional flavor. Cover and let simmer over low heat.
• Remove chicken from oven (be sure to use an oven mitt - the handle on that pan will be hot!) and use tongs to transfer the chicken to the utility platter (alongside the mushroom mixture). Cover and keep warm.
• Add about 1/2 cup water to the pan in which the chicken was baking and stir to loosen the browned bits of flavor on the bottom. Place a strainer over the pot of mushroom soup and demi-glace and (still using an oven mitt for that hot handle) pour the juice from the chicken pan through the strainer into the sauce. Whisk together the sauce and pan juices and let cook for a few more minutes to integrate flavors.
• Place chicken on serving dish. Spoon sauce over. Top with sauteed mushrooms/onions and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Combine the seasonings; set aside. In Dutch ovens, saute onions, green peppers and garlic in butter until tender. Add Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and reserved seasonings. Cook and stir for 8-10 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Remove from the heat; stir in milk and ketchup. Cool. , Add bread crumbs and eggs; mix well. In several large bowls, combine beef, pork and vegetable mixture; mix well. Pat into 11 greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. , Bake at 350° for 65-75 minutes or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°; drain.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Saute onion and garlic in chicken broth until soft.
• Stir in red peppers, tomato paste, chili sauce and Cajun spices.
• Cook on low heat for 10 minutes; cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sauteed onion mixture and bread crumbs.
• Form into a loaf shape and place into ungreased loaf pan.
• Brush with 2 tablespoons of chili sauce.
• Bake until cooked through, 40-50 minutes.
• Cool before cutting into slices.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except one cup of ketchup and the meats in a large mixing bowl. Add the meats and knead well, then put in three 4-by-8 glass or metal bread pans (I use 1 1/2 quart Pyrex glass bread pans). The remaining cup of ketchup will be used later.
• Cover with tinfoil and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Pour off grease, bake another 30 minutes, pour off grease.
• Remove tinfoil, spread remaining cup of catsup over the top of the meatloaf and along the sides, and bake about 10 minutes until catsup begins to caramelize and slightly blacken - this must be watched closely so as not to burn.
• The carmelized and blackened catsup on the top of the meatloaf and the sides of the pan both add a great flavor to the meatloaf.
• Cut contents of each bread pan into four 2 inch wide pieces. Makes 12 pieces, each 2 inches wide, 4 inches long, and 3 inches high.
• This makes a mild to medium hot meatloaf, if you want it milder or hotter, change the three peppers by 1/4 teaspoon each.

Steps:

• Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, tabasco, Worcestershire and seasoning mix.
• Saute until mixture starts sticking excessively, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the pan bottom well.
• Stir in the milk and catsup.
• Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
• Place the ground beef and pork in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
• Add the eggs, the cooked vegetable mixture and the bread crumbs, remove the bay leaves.
• Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
• In the center of the pan, shape the mixture into a loaf that is about 1-1/2 inches high, 6 inches wide and 12 inches long.
• Bake uncovered at 350F for 25 minutes, then raise heat to 400F and continue cooking until done, about 35 minutes longer.
• Serve immediately as is or with Very Hot Cajun Sauce for Beef.
• This is best using both ground pork and ground beef, as the pork gives more flavor diversity.
• However, you can make it with ground beef only.
