1/4 plus 1 c fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 to 1/2 c sauteed chopped mushrooms

This is one of my favorite recipes. It's always a hit when I make it for guests. The meatloaf is so moist and flavorful, and the pastry is flaky and golden brown. It's a perfect dish for a special occasion.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatloaf Wellington didn't turn out so great. The pastry was dry and the meatloaf was a bit too dense. I'll have to try again.

This was a flop. The pastry was soggy and the meatloaf was dry. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

Meh. I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning and maybe some vegetables mixed into the meatloaf.
