Roulade Meatloaf

Start with ground beef mixed with some Montreal steak seasoning and dehydrated soup vegetables.  Press the ground beef out flat in a sheet pan, like pastry.  Coat with a layer of fromage fort or any spreadable cheese.  Add chopped mushrooms (or leftover sauteed mushrooms), sundried tomatoes, chopped garlic, chopped spinach, chopped basil, really any flavorful ingredients you can think of.  Roll up into a loaf.  Place on a baking rack over a sheet pan.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15-30 minutes to brown and crisp the exterior, then reduce to 350 degrees until done (use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature from time to time for doneness).

Here's the meatloaf before baking.  Unfortunately I forgot to take a pic of the finished meatloaf.

Fromage Fort, A Beautiful Way To Turn Cheese Scraps Into Gourmet Cheese Spread

If you love cheese, and if you have my weakness for cheese, you probably end up with plenty of "nubs" of cheese in your fridge.  Fromage Fort is a beautiful way to use up your last bits of leftover cheese.

Just gather up your leftover little bits of cheese and dice them up.  Throw them in the food processor with a clove of garlic and your favorite combination of cream cheese and/or butter and/or white wine.  Process until smooth.  You'll have a fabulous gourmet cheese spread made from leftovers.  How cool is that?
