609063 Thu Apr 02 15:30:43 -0700 2009 12 31 Home Cooking 0 4562305 I LOVE Boston Market meatloaf sauce. I even bring it home to cook pork chops or chicken in. I have just spent 45 minutes Googling for a copycat recipe for it with no luck. I know there must be someone out there that has hit a good site for the recipe. I just have not found it. Any suggestions? Thu Apr 02 15:30:44 -0700 2009 83659 randyjl 1 4562506 I'm not sure that it can (or should) be replicated at home. Assuming it is the same found on the frozen food ingredients: Brown Gravy (Water, Corn Maltodextrin, Beef Fat, Modified Tapioca Starch, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Salt, Sugar, Caramel Color, Guar Gum, Dehydrated Soy Sauce... (Soybeans, Wheat, Salt, Dextrin), Onion Powder, Monoglycerides, Spice, Garlic Powder, Dextrose, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Citric Acid, Wine Solids Here's a suggestion/guess on how to make the gravy (overall proportions 2T fat, 2T flour thicken 1C liquid): In sauce pan, melt some beef or other fat (eg butter) and then saute onions and garlic with salt and sugar until very soft. Push aside the saute, add tomato paste and brown it a bit. Add flour and stir until well cooked. Add red wine, thick beef and/or veal stock (or vegemite/marmite as from the list of ingredients!), bay leaf and a small amount of soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce until flavors are blended and concentrated. Thicken with a cooked roux if necessary and season to taste with lots S&P. Herbs to add if needed - rosemary or thyme The flavor of the gravy is highly dependent on the quality of the stock. Other additions (increasing umami) to try: mushroom powder (grind dried mushrooms) added with the saute, kombu (add with the liquids and remove when it comes to a simmer) Thu Apr 02 16:26:31 -0700 2009 4562305 155034 alwayscooking 1 4562611 How about this one? http://hubpages.com/hub/Boston-Market-Copycat-Recipes Thu Apr 02 17:05:30 -0700 2009 4562305 95137 mcsheridan 2 4562661 It's for the meatloaf not the salt, msg, fat with some aromatics suspended in emulsifiers. Thu Apr 02 17:23:00 -0700 2009 4562611 155034 alwayscooking 3 4562719 The sauce is the first three ingredients simmered, nothing more: 1 cup tomato sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons Kraft original barbeque sauce 1 tablespoon sugar I don't judge the requester, or the sauce, I merely point to the information. I assumed the old chain restaurant version, not the frozen food one. The former was tomato-based. In any case, à chacun son goût. Thu Apr 02 17:41:53 -0700 2009 4562661 95137 mcsheridan 4 4562808 While I don't want to belabor this (guess I do!) - that's the meatloaf glaze and in this recipe the extra is used to moisten the loaf. I believe that there is a separate gravy that is served along with the loaf both in the restaurant and in the frozen dinner - as listed from the package the ingredients resemble a pan gravy. Thu Apr 02 18:14:52 -0700 2009 4562719 155034 alwayscooking 5 4563310 My husband was a GM of a Boston Market for several years. There is a tomato-based sauce and a gravy. They usually ask which you prefer to have on top when you order. I do believe the meatloaves are covered in the tomato-based sauce prior to cooking. I have never tasted either as meatloaf is only second to the pot pie on the list of the worst things (fat/sodium/calories wise) you can order from there. Stick with the chicken, steamed green beans or veggies, and new potatoes.

I will try the recipe and and add the veggies. Thanks Thu Apr 16 18:17:51 -0700 2009 4562719 83659 randyjl 1 4654349 I assume you are asking for the chunky tomato sauce that Boston Market offers with their meatloaf. It is different than the sauce they put on top, and in it. It is CHUNKY. I too have just spent too much time Googling for the recipe. Can anyone help? Mon May 04 18:24:13 -0700 2009 4562305 289421 4reggie 2 4964617 I'm looking for the same thing - the Chunky Tomato Sauce they pour over the meatloaf. I sure did love that and we don't have Boston Market's in Redding, CA where I live Thu Aug 20 23:24:25 -0700 2009 4654349 1103341 violetbead 3 4965153 Have you checked www.cdkitchen.com? They have an extensive Copycat Recipe section. Fri Aug 21 07:34:03 -0700 2009 4964617 159317 greygarious 4 4984477 Tried cdKitchen, and the one they have is not good. I tried making my own and it came out well, The secret is adding bbq sauce. Add chunks of whatever veggies you like. Thu Aug 27 19:15:45 -0700 2009 4965153 83659 randyjl 1 4999827 I think I have perfected it after a couple of tries. This makes alot but freezes well. 32 oz. tomato sauce 15 oz. can petit diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup of the following diced vegetables: zucchini, green pepper, red pepper, carrots, celery, and onion 2 cloves of garlic minced 1 tsp. garlic salt 2 tsp. basil, and oregano Simmer on very low for at least 4 hours and pour over meatloaf.
