Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ red onion, minced
1/3 green pepper and 1/3 other
coloured sweet pepper, chopped
6 cremini mushrooms, sliced
½ package extra lean ground
beef (about 1 ½ cups)
1 egg
1 tbsp barbecue sauce
1 tsp mustard
2 tbsp tomato paste or thick
marinara sauce
½ cup sour cream
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp black pepper
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese,
grated
Heat the olive oil in a small
fry pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, peppers, and mushrooms
and sauté until soft. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Put ground beef into a large
bowl. Add the sautéed vegetables, egg, BBQ sauce, mustard, sour cream,
breadcrumbs, and herbs and spices. Bring together using the hands into a sticky
mixture. If it appears too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
Line a loaf pan with foil.
Spoon a little more than half of the meatloaf mixture into the pan and spread it
across the bottom and into all corners. Top with the cheese, mounding it in the
middle. Cover the cheese with the rest of the meatloaf mixture and smooth the
top so the cheese is no longer visible. Bake in a 375oF oven for 35
minutes.
I had some potatoes on hand, so while the meatloaf was in the oven I whipped up a quick mash. Just to tie the whole dish together, I grated some more of the cheese that I stuffed in the centre of the meatloaf and mashed it in with the potatoes.
So yes, as you may have guessed, I'm going the obviously corny route with my tunes tonight. Since my dish is meatloaf, might as well throw up a Meatloaf tune, even though I'm really not that big of a fan. Just for kicks, here's I Would Do Anything for Love.
