Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Meatloaf with Mushrooms and Cheese image

This is a hearty and flavorful mushroom-stuffed meatloaf created by a true meatatarian.

Provided by MUDD

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Ground Pork Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package bacon, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, diced, divided
6 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
1 ½ pounds ground beef chuck
½ pound ground pork
2 large eggs
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons paprika
4 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt
aluminum foil
1 (12 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced
12 (1 ounce) slices Provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 of the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the diced onion and 4 chopped garlic cloves and lightly saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large bowl, and add ground beef, ground pork, eggs, parsley, paprika, pepper, and sea salt. Blend together with your hands until mostly combined. Place in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay a 2-foot square piece of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
  • Wipe the skillet clean, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat over medium heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute until all moisture has evaporated and mushrooms start to turn dark reddish-brown with golden spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Add remaining 2 cloves chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Place meat mixture in the center of the aluminum foil and shape meat into an evenly thick square about 1/2 inch thick, making sure there are no gaps or thin spots. Cover meat with overlapping slices of Provolone cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch to 1 inch uncovered meat around the perimeter. Lay cooked bacon strips over Provolone cheese and spread mushrooms evenly over bacon.
  • Lift one end of the foil and begin rolling the meat in a pinwheel fashion. Place meatloaf in a baking dish, molding the ends to create a seal around the stuffing; discard the foil. Lay remaining uncooked bacon over meatloaf, leaving about 1/4 inch between each slice, and tucking ends in under the loaf.
  • Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway. Switch to the broil setting and cook until meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Provided by Barbara Kavorkian

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

MEATLOAF
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
2 Tbsp bbq sauce (your favorite, I used Jack Daniels original)
1/4 c dry seasoned bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp sea salt, optional
2 clove garlic zested or minced
1/4 tsp rounded, dry mustard
1/4 tsp rounded, oregano
1/4 tsp rounded, basil
1/4 tsp rounded, black pepper fresh ground
2-3 green onions, white and green part, chopped finely
1/2 small green bell pepper, small dice
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese (reserve 1/4c for on top)
TOPPING
3 slice bacon cut in half (6 smaller slices total)
2 Tbsp bbq sauce
1 Tbsp rounded, light brown sugar not packed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Get out a 9x13 baking pan. Do not use a bread pan. You can line this with foil to help with clean up, or just spray with a non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • 2. Keep hamburger in the refrigerator until the last minute. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, minced garlic, dry mustard, oregano, basil, pepper, onion and bell pepper. Stir it around a bit to get everything mixed. Add the 2 tsp bbq sauce and egg; mix. Grab the rest of the ingredients... this will go quickly so the "loaf" holds its shape.
  • 3. Take the hamburger and add this to the bowl, QUICKLY mix together with clean hands... forget the spoon. Place 1/2 of the hamburger mix in the center of your pan. Make a "well" with your hand so it looks like a hollowed out 1/2 potato. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese and gently press it in.
  • 4. Add the second half of the hamburger on top and press it together and shape like a log.
  • 5. Lay the bacon strips on top of the loaf.
  • 6. Smear the last 2 tbsp of bbq sauce on top of the bacon. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the sauce and put this into the oven for 60 minutes. (temp should be 160°F internally)
  • 7. After 60 minutes, you can sprinkle the remaining 1/4 c cheese on top and return it to the oven for 5 minutes, just to let the cheese melt. If you don't want to to this, you can just stuff all the cheese inside and leave the outside to the bacon and bbq sauce.

MACARONI & CHEESE STUFFED MEATLOAF RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Macaroni & Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by KennyB07

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (7.25-ounce) package Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1/3 cup A.1. Original Sauce, divided
1 (8-ounce) package Kraft Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided
1/4 cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ºF. Prepare macaroni and cheese dinner as directed on package. Meanwhile, mix meat, onions, bread crumbs, egg and 2 tablespoons A.1. just until blended. Divide meat mixture in half; pat each half into 10x8-inch rectangle on sheet of parchment paper. Reserve 1/2 cup cheddar. Mix remaining cheddar with macaroni and cheese; spread over meat mixture, starting at one short end of each rectangle and spreading to within 3 inches of opposite end. Roll up each rectangle, starting at macaroni cheese covered end and removing parchment as meatloaf is rolled; press ends and edges of meatloaf together to seal. Use parchment to transfer meatloaves, seam sides down, to 2 (13x9-inch) pans sprayed with cooking spray. Discard parchment. Bake meatloaves 25 minutes. Whisk ketchup and remaining A.1. until blended; spoon over meatloaves. Sprinkle with reserved cheddar. Bake 10 minutes or until meatloaves are done (160ºF). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a lean ground beef, such as 85% lean, to prevent the meatloaf from becoming too greasy.
  • Add some bread crumbs or oatmeal to the meatloaf mixture to help bind the ingredients together.
  • Season the meatloaf with your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and cumin.
  • For a cheesy meatloaf, use a shredded cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Cheese-stuffed meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its savory filling and juicy texture, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
