MEET THE PARENTS :- Meatloaf

Do you like Meatloaf? No not the musician although he is pretty darn special.  I am talking about the dish Meatloaf as featured in Meet the Parents.  Meatloaf can be regarded as rather boring, however it can be anything but.  So why not try this luxury version that I found at the following site
http://www.recipe4living.com/a_luxury_meatloaf.htm. 

The Ingredients

4 Tbs. butter

2 C. mushrooms, sliced

1 small onion, chopped

1-2 Tbs. minced garlic

1 small red bell pepper, chopped

1 tsp. dried thyme

1 1/4 lb. ground beef

1/4 C. ketchup or chili sauce

1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded

2 tsp. salt

1-2 tsp. black pepper

 

 

 

How to cook it

 

Set oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In a frying pan melt butter over medium heat, add in mushrooms, onion, red bell pepper, garlic and thyme;

Sauté for about 6 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.

Add in all remaining ingredients; using clean hands mix thoroughly.

Place mixture into the prepared loaf pan, then place them onto a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Using 2 forks remove the meatloaf from the pan.

Let rest 5-7 minutes before slicing.
