We're food-a-holics, what do you expect? lol Try using Cream of Mushroom Soup instead of just chicken stock and/or water next time you do a Beef Pot Roast. So ono! Like this: Salt and pepper then sear all sides of beef roast until brown to seal in flavor in a dutch oven. Then add diced onions, carrots and celery (miripoix) and saute until tender. Empty one packet of Lipton dry onion soup mix on top of roast. Pour 2 small cans (or 1 large can) around roast and just a little water, cover it and cook on low heat on stovetop or in oven for about 1-1/2 hours. Add whole, half or thirds cut raw potatoes , carrots and celery. It's done with the veggies are cooked tender. Serve with rice or mash. No need make gravy. It's thick and ready to serve right out the pot! The juices from the pot roast blend with the Cream of Mushroom soup for the ultimate pot roast gravy. So ono! I learned that from some website I googled a long time ago. Yup, go on forever. We’re food-a-holics, what do you expect? lol

Cornstarch and water or flour? I tried potato starch one time which worked pretty good. Sometimes I "cheat" and add packaged McCormick Brown Gravy mix according to directions to my scratch gravy for a guaranteed full flavor. I gotta try that Cream of Mushroom Soup idea next time I make brown gravy. I LOVE mushrooms! How about to thicken those gravies? Cornstarch and water or flour?

Somehow the oil doesn't get too absorbed by the meatloaf, but it does flavor the glaze as it melts. then you baste the top every so often ... to make the bacon sweet too... that's the best taste of this dish.
