Instructions
Servings: 2 meat loaves (5 to 6 servings each) and about 2 1/2 cups sauce. In a bowl, beat 2 eggs, ketchup, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper. Crumble meat over mixture and mix well. Sprinkle with onion and bread crumbs; mix gently. Shape into two loaves, about 9-inches x 3-inches. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet into an 18-inch x 16-inch rectangle. Invert meat loaves and place in center of each pastry; fold short sides of pastry over loaf. Fold long sides over loaf and pastry seal seams. Place, seam side down, on a rack in a 15-inch x 10-inch x 1-inch baking pan. Beat remaining egg; brush over pastry. Bake at 350F for 60 to 70 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 to 170F. Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in flour until smooth. Stir in the consomme, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, browning sauce if desired and cloves. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in wine or broth. In a skillet, saute mushrooms in oil until tender. Serve the mushrooms and sauce over meat loaf slices.
