Mushroom Swiss Cheese Meatloaf

Hearty Meatloaf with Savory Mushrooms and Melty Swiss Cheese

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup Swiss cheese, grated

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a skillet, sauté the chopped mushrooms, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, grated Swiss cheese, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing for a tender loaf.

Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan, shaping it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
