Creamy Mushroom Meatloaf Experiment - Meatloaf Cooked in Creamy Mushroom Gravy

[JonO387]

This would look good if it didn't have mushrooms.

[Stefsupersaiyan]

My mom made this the other day!! IT WAS SOOO GOOOOOOD!!

[Klimakteriumet]

I watch this not to learn how to cook (I'm 17 and yes, my mom cooks for me) but this is just soooo funny :)

[swedesam]

Wow!...comfort food central right there!

[p0ptart01134]

shitaki happens.. GENIUS! omg!

[TheANBart]

shitaki happens! :D

[mannequinminie]

guys i have a question.is the cream he's using the same as milk? because the cream i find here is kinda thick but the one he's using is not. i'm living in asia btw.

[elliments]

you get no lumps when you add cold liquid to a roux? i get lumps anyway xP so i mix constantly while having a ssmmaaalll steady stream pouring into the roux

[PlatypusGuitar]

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

[iDoopy]

@PlatypusGuitar Big tits.

[niteowlvault]

shitake happens...classic.

[thelamepirate]

i kinda dont think that cooking that heavy cream for all that time while the meat loaf cooks is a good idea. making meat loaf and gravy separately would be just perfect, no excess fat scimming etc. gravys are not supposed to be cooked for a long time. otherwise, great video and thanks a lot chef john for all your effort!

[karinarusman]

shitake happens. *BA DUM TSS*

[blackbahhh]

"shit-ake happens!" chef john please make foodwishes shirts

[arevalsmith]

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

[x3baybeee]

am i the only one whos hungry?

[Ilumeo]

Today marks my first day, out of 10, of living alone, ever. I'm gonna be doing all your recipes. Hope I don't die :D

[mrsmagandelatour]

I'm cooking this tonight.

[leftysergeant]

At my last duty station in Germany, we had a large Labor Service contingent. They seemed very picky about gravy with any meal, some pointing out repeatly that in Germna cuisine, the gravy is more important than the meat. Even if the meart loaf were utter crap, I think that crew would love this.

[faarooq5]

You are TOP Chef Mr. John

[bloodsinister93]

Shitake happens *badum tss

[fromalbiontoarcadia]

I love how honest you are with us! Telling us the meatloaf wasn't perfect but that you'll get it there and give us the recipe when you're happy with it. You're just awesome, Chef John! xx

[greenrmytears]

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!!!

[airmacs20]

"shitake happens" LMAO

[caa1000]

Don't worry! Shitake Happens... (Drum Roll) How low can you go Chef John?

[radioactivenonesense]

why did i watch this when i stopped eating meat >_<

[leftysergeant]

@radioactivenonesense Well, now you have an idea how to make soy burgers taste like something other than saw dust.

[stankynose]

Shitake happens LOL

[Techno1q]

"Shiitake happens" hahahahahaha I love you Chef John.

[raustean]

HAS THE FOOD NETWORK CALLED YOU YET? YOU ARE THE SH*T(GREATEST).

[aopdjasldksa]

If you forget to make a roux you'll "rue-in" it in the end.

[pixiedust2160]

Vegetables optional lol

[theoneandonlylc]

0:42 the ol smacka smacka

[stankynose]

@theoneandonlylc

the ol fapa fapa

[trouble1macker202]

This is torture because I'm been craving mushrooms like a fiend lately.

[kerrough]

I do something similar to this in my slow cooker, only with an onion cream gravy instead b/c my guy can't have mushrooms. Very tastey =)

[coooldonkey]

is it just me or is there no spice in this recipe?

[jessi330]

@coooldonkey salt, rosemary in the sauce. He doesn't show you what is in the meatloaf.

[cyoohoos]

I recently went vegetarian and I was craving mashed potatoes but who wants mashed potatoes with out gravy? Now I can do the mushroom gravy. Thanks

[vaskesnoppen]

Looks like a Slovakian (Tjekkish) dish.. Great work.!!

[Noylicious66]

PLEASE make some Kosher recipes :(

[Hipster2U]

To avoid dipping FAT at the end, use a leaner grind of meat. Maybe at least above 90% lean. I use a 97% lean, 97/3 hardly any fat.

[DaniOcean]

@Hipster2U he used some beef pork mixture, so the fat probably came from that. If you want some mixed meatloaf you will have to skim the fat at the end.

[yoyohaness]

I eat a 90% vegetarian diet, with the last 10% being fish, but this makes me want to kill a few animals for tasty meat goodness.

[tiptopluongo]

I watch Chef John instead of doing university homework.

[DaniOcean]

@tiptopluongo hope you're not studying for a brain surgeon ;) .

[Killingglorie]

@tiptopluongo i watch him instead of watching porn

[bigawsome75]

@tiptopluongo You too? Join the club.

[raVen670]

@tiptopluongo Well, at least now you've learned that "Shiitake happens"..

[Dionysus611]

@tiptopluongo lol u must be livin in res 2

[this1sfake]

@tiptopluongo so true!

[shaling19bigsis]

LOL... Shitake happens!

[HackerGuitarist]

@shaling19bigsis ..umm yeah we heard that part einstein

[liquidblueyes]

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

[heckald]

Can I adopt you as my father Chef John?

[jincha1]

Nice very nice!...

[taylorswift2807]

SHITAKI HAPPENS!!

[Sanafromodessa]

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

[cocobrownallaround]

Damn! This meatloaf looks awesome. I'm going to try this one really soon.

[dragonflychainsaw]

i tried the recipe and browned the meatloaf first i thought my family was going to fight over the last piece i didn't even have a sandwich for the next day darn it

[LiaTaffa]

"shitaki happens"

ba dum tss.

ahaha chef joh is 9gaggers :D

[savennia]

can I move in your house?

[sarsarita]

was watching this while eating my mandarin oranges...darn it!

[loversoftwilight]

im very sorry if this will offend you or something but ... first i thought the mushrooms were ... worms... which made me think ... ewww!!!... what da!!.. then i read the title ... then i told my self ... thats a mushroom .. so stupid of me .. to think that ... welll anyway ... thanks for the videos ... take care and God Bless

[MrAgentGreeny]

@loversoftwilight

God doesn't exist

However a god of cooking does exist, its Chef John!

[gottalovelise]

@MrAgentGreeny God exist :)

[mokienatrix]

@loversoftwilight You've got to stop visiting the weird side of Youtube before hitting up foodwishes.

[alishaisnotaface]

I always love it when there's a roux.

[emikofatima]

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!

[princessshortie29]

LOL at 4:42 keep the oven nice and moist

[yokongyo]

Shitake happens!!

[friendswoah]

makes macarons please!

[H0neyB4dger]

I love watching chef john's videos even though im only 14 haha, they get right to the point and unlike other cooking recipes, he doesn't really have those entire person shots, and just focuses on video taping the food, which i think is really good and entertaining. The videos are short and get right to the point. Which is the best part about them!!

[demlikposet]

If you think taste is not like you imagined or wanted

why u share this with us

we love you and we trust you so much so we think chef john shares only best of best recipes with us

kind of recipes if we cook for our friends they ll love it,and will ask for recipe

I mean

pls pretty please if you dont trust dont share

if you dont like that much dont shareif you dont think its good dont share(like goat cheese apple one, you say you thought it maybe cool bot not so why u shared?)

with love junn

[Aisyah75]

@demlikposet he's sharing with us eventho he's not happy with it, because he wants us to know there is a recipe like this AND give us the creativity to modify and change it with our own twist. If you don't like how he doesn't like his own creation, don't comment or just, don't watch it. You're making a fool out of yourself.

with love Aisyah.

[lilshinodahahn]

@Aisyah75 I agree with you, there's always trials and errors in cooking anyway, and Chef John is showing to us there is this kind of situation when we thought our food would come out great, but actually needs modification and improvements to make the dish superb. He even gave suggestions on how to make the recipe tasted better.That's how natural cooks should be, there's imperfection in food we make but we still try to improvise that dish. Instead of complaining, why not be more positive right?

[josipis]

I do the exact same sauce with steak :D

[HoneiiDiiva]

He's a cool ...funny and talented chef.

[HoneiiDiiva]

I'm loving this recipe!

[yitingter]

I dont know why EVERYTHING you cook seem to be in 4D cos I can see it, touch it and smell it O.o



[Rachiewoowoo]

I think I can smell the mushrooms cooking in the rue.

ho god.

[sebastian3358spawn]

Shiitake happens :3

[TheKitchenWitch1]

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.

[ditozoio]

hi chef john... sorry for the newbie question, but can i store this kind of cream in the freezer? or it would go bad?

[HighRisingArizona]

Um, potatos aren't veggies?

[Fjrrrrr]

can  you tell me how to make mashed potato?

[InspectorGadget923]

That sauce was begging to be spooned.

[inpact]

Can you substitute non fat milk for the heavy cream?

[xxxsalie]

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

[friedsausagerollz]

i was watching Masterchef the other day and i was thinking how Chef John would own everyone.

[1canheat]

Looking forward to your corrected meatloaf..... Please post, please.....

[sjbethke]

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. :)

[laumeux]

Can I make the mushroom sauce without mushrooms? And if I do, can I just call it "Sauce," or do I have to call it "Not Mushroom Sauce?"

[DrunknShooter]

Mushroom gravy beats ketchup on meatloaf any day.

[LaYourMaster]

SHITTAKE HAPPENS TROLOLOLOLOL HAHA

[DKDamilos]

Mushrooms are a reason to live!

[AnneGirlCarrots]

It's a really big salisbury steak..

[ZombiedustXXX]

Fantasic Chef John. This is one of those dishes that would be incomparable when cooked with a cast iron skillet.

[tinkershimmy]

Trying it!

[basilwhite]

How about putting it in without browning to, say, an internal temp of 140, then flip it and bake to 155?

[HotCocoaxD]

It looks like shit......

[sjsawyer]

@HotCocoaxD It looks like *shitaki

Fixed that for you

[sjsawyer]

@sjsawyer It looks like **shiitake

Fixed that for me

[tmaantroy]

Clean that daggone oven!!!

[jemremyc]

ooh... 155 degrees isn't very well done for ground meats. I don't trust my meat sellers, I guess - I always cook my ground meats to 165 or 170.

[plllll0]

4:42 Keep the oven nice and moist?

[xantho00]

Chef John you should make Salisbury Steak 

[fleek164]

Adopt me

[cvoskuil]

"Shiitake happens", don't quit your day job.

[justinkingtut]

Just made it. awesome job



[vanscoyoc]

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.

[17thCenturyLlama]

shitakie mushroom steams are like my favorite part XD

[orlendatube]

this is similar to how i do my meatloaf-i follow the "mini skillet meatloves" recipe from foodnetwork(DOT)com-they steam in the pan and they come out with this amazing texture! delicious!

[betterthanyoux33]

Do you voiceover??

[Sizzlik]

@betterthanyoux33

Please..use that meatball inside your skull..of course its a voiceover.

Recipe:

Make video..add a little editing..and finish it with a tasty voiceover.

[betterthanyoux33]

@Sizzlik ik but how should i know but thanks anyways asshole! (:

[Sizzlik]

@betterthanyoux33

youre welcome sweety

[DoveOfFlames]

@Sizzlik I saw your "youre welcome sweety" comment and thought it was so cute. Then I read it in context and realized you weren't being overly friendly. lol

[Sizzlik]

@DoveOfFlames

Stupid questions ask for stupid answers =)

[vadont]

i want a bite of this =(

[dahrchan]

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!

[DaniBongar]

It's always pleasant when Shitake happens.

[MarieFace]

Meatloaf still seems to get a really bad rap, If its cooked right meatloaf is an awesome.

[Turwen9]

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

[01230145678901]

Am i the only one who want to be in his family?

[DJKJSeph]

You had me at "Hello this is Chef John"

[AsmaaFaris]

Oh man, that looks good...

[JoeGilliganfilms]

Chef John, can you do a Pavlova next please.

[coolanddark]

Good idea! I braise tough cuts of meat in gravy until tender. Nothing better! Moist! You have the same Idea here! I`m a big fan of your videos!

[Zoritsa]

What other meat would this be good with? Meatloaf is not my favorite,but the mushroom sauce looks awesome!

[xKiarax]

My math professor sounds like you, too bad he wasn't :(

[PCUlzzang]

I dont understand why pouring cold into hot rue won't form clumps. wouldn't it be the opposite? because hot and hot will allow it to dissolve and mix? but cold will cool down the rue which makes it harder to dissolve thus forming lumps. can someone explain?

[bumblur]

@PCUlzzang Pouring hot liquid into the wet flour will cook the outside, trapping the raw flour in the middle .... this would be lump.

[PCUlzzang]

@bumblur Oh i see, thank you very much. I'm asian so I rarely cook with flour, just baking, so i didn't understand the physics of it! thanks!

[naheeda13]

i literally thought for like 5mins and i dont get it

"shiitake" happens? someone please explain

[DejectedDonkey]

@naheeda13 it's a mushroom

[7Shirafune7]

@naheeda13

it's a reference to the phrase "shit happens." It just means that people will always get terrible luck.

[naheeda13]

@7Shirafune7 oh yeah i got that, just wondering if it was something else, never mind LOL

thanks

[coolanddark]

@naheeda13 You have heard the term `shit happens`, well `Shitake happens too`

[kitchenfromhell]

I skim the fat off with bread, (put pan on table soak bread in and eat it).

[raymondxiwei]

@kitchenfromhell hmmmmmmmmm........yum.......

[kitchenfromhell]

I did not know, I had a "smell" screen. Or is it just my imagination?

[CreateSporeCreatures]

...why do I always watch these when I'm hungry?

[lolo101520]

absolutely ....... I will enjoy  it <3

[Sen1Sky]

"axcellent " lol

[temp9747]

How do I give him my foodwish? I really want to see a recipe for duck...

[TheOkami1113]

@foodwishes Chef John, can you make a restaurant, I'm so sick of watching your scrumptious food and that's stuff's VIRTUAL on MY end!

[nasrineable]

yum



[wwaif]

If you're looking for a good vegetable to go with this, I would suggest pizza..

[mrhulot101]

I do not like Chef John videos, they take too long. His food looks so good i stop listening to what he is saying and have to go back and watch again to hear what he said. Do not watch Chef John videos when hungry, you will not hear a thing.

[simmer152]

shitake happens haha! lol

[macchef01]

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

[DirtyJewbz]

I love you, Chef John.

[kpopotaku121296]

pronounced*

[RachelLoviex]

i have a confession, i've never had meatloaf.. i think i should change that with this recipe!! ^.^

[kpopotaku121296]

its prnounce shitak-ay just saying

[ChetzNation]

@kpopotaku121296 [Shì-tà-kèh]. It's Japanese.

[TIllAllAreOne100]

greatest chef iin the world

[betterinpink]

That looks amazing.

[mattincinci]

mmmmmm that looks soooo good :-)

[adamantchese]

Saw Foodwishes video -> remembered I didn't eat my lunch.

Watched Foodwishes video -> realized my lunch is nowhere near as good as this.

Feelsbadman.

[darthpaul123]

it looks like what i put in the toilet this morning, but im sure this tastes great

[tblbaby]

Oh hell, all this time I thought thicken was what happened when you got a mouse in your mountain dew, it thickens you & you barf ... but actually it just melts into the dew & thickens the dew like arrooooooogh does gravy or the scene of a drunk Aussie being eaten by a great white shark

[fegolem]

My brother can't eat milk protein. Is there a good substitute for the cream?

[fegolem]

@fegolem reduced almond milk?

[tblbaby]

Oh hell, all this time I thought arroooooooogh was an Australian Cheer they bellowed out when a drunk guy was eaten by a great white

[abbeylush]

Yep, bust that loaf into balls & sear in pan - DRAIN - build pan sauce with tasty fond, return balls for smother. U got poached mince there - ew

[lfi18593]

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

[dzyubin]

@lfi18593 Chef John ;P

[lfi18593]

@dzyubin Thank you for that! :)

[mrscardinal1]

I'll try this sauce with my meatball recipe as well.

[mrscardinal1]

I hit 'Like' before I watched the video. 

[tattooyu]

I would brown the meatloaf separately first, so some of the fat renders out. Then, I'd put in with the mushroom sauce and spoon it over to my heart's content with my own hairy knuckles!
