Baby Mushroom Cheddar Meatloaf Recipes

CHEESE AND MUSHROOM-STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.
• Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add garlic and mushrooms.
• Cook until mushrooms are golden-brown and liquid evaporates, about 8-9 minutes.
• Cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175C).
• Mix beef and everything else but cheese.
• Turn out onto large square of plastic wrap.
• Pat into 9 x 12 inch rectangle.
• Spread mushroom filling over rectangle, leaving a ½ inch border on all sides.
• Cover mushrooms with cheese.
• Starting at one short end, roll up jelly roll fashion. Take time and lovingly pat it into a compact shape to fit into your loaf pan - this will ensure that it doesn't crack as it bakes.
• Arrange seam side down in 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
• (Can be prepared up to 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate) Bake until loaf shrinks from sides of pan and browns, about 1 hour.
• Pour off any drippings.
• Gently turn out loaf and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

CREAMY MUSHROOM MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in fresh rosemary. Add flour and stir to coat the mushrooms; cook and stir for about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in beef broth, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
• Turn heat to high and bring the sauce to a simmer. Simmer a few minutes until sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream.
• Slide prepared meatloaf into the sauce. Spoon sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Remove pan from the oven and gently remove meatloaf to a serving platter.
• Skim off any extra fat from the surface of the sauce.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat to reduce until thick, about 5 minutes.

CHEESY MUSHROOM MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Combine beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, milk, onion and bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Roll out onto wax paper into an 8x5 rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle cheese and mushroom on top of beef mixture. Roll lengthwise like a jelly roll. Place seam side down in baking dish. Bake for one hour at 350°
• 2. Blend brown sugar and ketchup. Spread over loaf as soon as it comes out of the oven. May not need to use all of the ketchup mixture on top.
• 3. With the addition of cheese in this meatloaf recipe the result is a more savory and rich flavor than most meatloaves.
