Time 1h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumb
1/2 cup minced parsley
1/4 cup ketchup
1 egg, beaten to blend
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

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.
