Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Meatloaf With Mushrooms And Cheese Recipes

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the green onions and cream cheese . Stuff mushroom caps with the cheese mixture. Wrap each mushroom with a half-slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is cooked through.

MUSHROOM STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, milk, ketchup, salt and pepper.
• Add beef and mix well by hand.
• Divide meat mixture in half and pat one half into a greased 9x5" loaf pan and set aside.
• Saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender in a skillet over medium heat, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add soft bread crumbs,parsley, thyme, salt& pepper and saute until crumbs are lightly browned.
• Spoon the crumb mixture over the meat in the loaf pan.
• Cover stuffing with the remaining meat mixture and press down gently to seal.
• Bake in a preheated 350 F oven until fully cooked and no pink remains,about 1 hour, draining fat if necessary.
• Once it has fully cooked, let sit 10-15 minutes before attempting to slice or it will fall apart.
• NOTE: I use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness so I don't have to cut into the meatloaf.
