Baby Mushroom Cheddar Meatloaf Recipes

MUSHROOM MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, minced mushrooms, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, and salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of a loaf pan. Arrange 6 whole mushrooms stem down into meat. Top with rest of meat, patting to combine both halves.
• Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until done. Internal temperature should measure 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when done.

SUPER STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, 1/2 a chopped onion, milk, Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; season with garlic, Italian seasoning, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper. Transfer the meat mixture to a piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil and flatten to a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir yellow onion and mushrooms in melted butter until the onion is translucent and mushrooms soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
• Spread filling mixture into center of meat rectangle. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over filling, leaving a bit of space at one end for easier rolling and sealing. Pick up the edge of the waxed paper or foil to roll the flattened meat into a log around the filling. Seal the ends and seam and place the loaf into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until oil from the cheese begins to pool, about 30 minutes. Drain oil and continue baking until the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 60 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

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.

CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix ground beef, onion, bell pepper, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, sour cream, and crackers together in a bowl. Place mixture on a baking dish and shape into a loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Heat the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese in a saucepan over medium heat until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Pour sauce over the meatloaf before serving.

BABY MUSHROOM CHEDDAR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Make the garlic purée and set aside.
• Caramelize the white onions (sliced thinly) in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over low heat until they reach a deep golden brown color. Set aside 1/2 cup for the meat mix and 1/2 cup for the demi glace you'll make later (see recipe).
• Next, in a small sauté pan combine ketchup and coke, whisking together over low heat. Reduce this mixture by half, remove from heat and allow to cool.
• In a large sauté pan, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and allow to warm over low heat. Add both types of mushrooms and a touch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the mushrooms are soft, allow to cool, and then add mushroom mix to coke and ketchup mix.
• In a large metal mixing bowl combine ground beef with mushroom coke/ketchup mixture, and all remaining ingredients - egg, bread crumbs, Romano and Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup caramelized onions and the garlic purée.
• Portion mixture into four equal football-shaped loaves. Bake on parchment-lined sheet pan for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Reduce temperature to 250 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees.
• To assemble: Slice each of the four mini meatloaves in three pieces and serve over red bliss mashed potatoes. Top this with the demi glace.
