Everyone loved this. However, the first time I made it, I made notes on my recipe (printed out & saved in a binder that the gravy was too thin. So I added 2 T of flour to the chicken broth & whisked before I added it to the mushrooms. This worked very well, and with the thinner milk sauce added, the gravy was what I consider the proper consistency (i.e., what you get with about 2T flour, usually in a roux with 2 T fat, to 1 c liquid if you don't have other ingredients. I forgot the cheese this time, and while I did miss it, nevertheless the whole thing was delicious. Anyhow this is a great recipe, though complicated with lots going on at once. You might start with the milk sauce and set it aside and then do the rest so you don't have to do so much at once.

What a great tasting meal. Used one package of veal and one package of meatloaf mix. The only difference was I made two meatloaves and had them on a baking sheet and cooked them at 350 for an hour. The sauce is the main key that brings this all together, it is deliciuos. I did make the potatoes also and they were great. But if you feel the prociutto is pricey a quarter pound is too much. Four bacon thick slices of prciutto is plenty and cheaper.

Rachel you are a fantastic chef, thank you! This meal was delicious. Unfortunately I overdid it on the salt, but that was my fault. The flavor, however, was fabulous. My favorite were the meatloaf and potatoes. I don't think I'm a big fan of kale. It has a bitterness much like spinach (although it could have been my fault. It was the first time I ever cooked it and I couldn't follow Rachel's recipe exactly because I had no red wine on hand. For the kale I used a combo of chicken stock and white whine which I had in the house, and it was still very tasty. Next time I'll ease up on the salt! Fabulous meal, however, despite my mistake.

Expensive ingredients, totally blah flavor. What is up with the other reviews? I don't know what can save this recipe. Something with some flavor, perhaps. YUK and a lot of money for nothing.

The mini meatloaves are good, but the gorgonzola/mushroom gravy is absolutely AMAZING! Even my family who are not blue cheese fans, loved it. Could do without the potatoes. Frankly, an easy red smashed potato with butter, cream cheese and sour cream would be just as good and less expensive. Anyhooo, good job Miss Rachael!

This meal definitely takes longer than 30 minutes to make as you've got alot going on at one time. The meat will easily feed 6 instead of 4 and I believe it's better to go with smaller servings as this meal is very heavy.

The gravey was outstanding, very thick and with lots of flavor. The potatos go quite well with the gravey, just make sure the person at the deli counter follows your instructions and gives you thick sliced prusciutto, otherwise it doesn't work as well.

This is a great meal if you're looking to impress friends and family.

This is why I will never be a professional chef right here. I used four different pans and every utensil in the house to make this meal! LOL But it wasn't a difficult recipe. I loved the gorgonzola gravy but combined with mashed potatoes and meatloaf this was a very heavy meal. The texture of the meatloaf was kind of pasty. I think I might try it again with turkey or just ground beef. I enjoyed the potatoes but my husband felt the nutmeg flavor was weird and overpowering. I'd leave that out next time.
