Moose Meatloaf with Wild Mushroom Gravy

1. Panade: Soak the breadcrumbs in milk until fully absorbed. This keeps your meatloaf incredibly moist and tender.

2. Mixing: Soak breadcrumbs in milk. Gently fold together the ground moose, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings. Don't overwork it.

3. Shaping: Shape the mixture into a free-form loaf on a sheet pan. This gives more surface area for delicious crust.

4. Baking: Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F until internal temp hits 160°F. Brush with glaze for that classic finish.

5. Gravy: Sauté wild mushrooms in butter, build a roux, add stock, and simmer until thickened into a rich, earthy gravy.
