Recipe: Cheesy Meat Loaf (stuffed with Cheddar and mushrooms)

CHEESY MEAT LOAF

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms pieces, drained
FOR THE TOPPING:
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup catsup

Combine beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, milk, onion and bread crumbs. Mix well.

Roll out on waxed paper into a rectangular shape about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle cheese and mushrooms on top of beef mixture. Roll lengthwise like a jelly roll by picking up edge of wax paper and allowing meat to roll over on itself. Place in a baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Top with a blend of brown sugar, mustard and catsup. Finish baking until topping bubbles, about 30 minutes.
