Mushroom-Stuffed Meat Loaf image

I first tried this savory meat loaf recipe more than 30 years ago after seeing it demonstrated on a local TV cooking program. Since then, I've served it time and again to family and guests. The flavorful stuffing sets it apart from the ordinary. -Shirley Leister, West Chester, Pennsylvania
