HEAVENLY MEATLOAF WITH BLUE CHEESE, MUSHROOMS, AND SPINACH



Heavenly Meatloaf with Blue Cheese, Mushrooms, and Spinach image

A slightly different recipe using a combination of ingredients, this meatloaf tastes absolutely divine! Instead of the usual ketchup, tomato paste, and brown sugar, this meatloaf is more of an 'upscale' version of the traditional. Best served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This is my own personal creation! I substitute ground deer meat occasionally instead of beef, only because I have a freezer full, and it's organic!

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful ground meat blend: A combination of ground beef and ground pork or ground lamb adds richness and depth of flavor to the meatloaf.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach adds a bright, vibrant flavor to the meatloaf. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan, adds a gooey, flavorful center to the meatloaf.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and cook evenly.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf hold its juices and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cheese spinach stuffed meatloaf is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a meatloaf that is sure to impress your family and friends.
