Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup button mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Finely chop the button mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms, onion, and garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together gently using your hands or a wooden spoon.
Add the cooled mushroom mixture into the meat mixture and combine until evenly distributed.
On a clean surface, lay out parchment paper or plastic wrap. Flatten the meat mixture into a rectangle, roughly 1 inch thick.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the center of the rectangle, leaving an inch border on all sides.
Carefully roll the meat mixture into a log, encasing the mozzarella in the center. Pinch the edges and seams to seal and transfer the loaf onto the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan.
Spread the ketchup evenly across the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
