Tips:
- Choosing the Right Mushrooms: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Other options include portobello, oyster, or white button mushrooms.
- Soaking the Mushrooms: Soaking the mushrooms in hot water for 15 minutes helps to soften them and release their flavor. Don't skip this step!
- Using a Food Processor: A food processor makes quick work of chopping the mushrooms and vegetables. If you don't have one, you can chop them by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
- Measuring the Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick-cooking or steel-cut oats. You can also use a gluten-free oat alternative, such as quinoa flakes or buckwheat groats.
- Forming the Meatloaf: To prevent the meatloaf from falling apart, make sure to press it firmly into the loaf pan. You can also use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to line the pan for easy cleanup.
- Using a Thermometer: To ensure that the meatloaf is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center of the loaf. It should read 160°F (70°C) for a medium-cooked loaf.
