INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ pound whole fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1¾ cups soft sourdough bread crumbs
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1½ pounds lean ground beef
  • ¾ pound bulk Italian sausage

 

FOR FILLING:

  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 5 ounces thinly sliced Havarti cheese
  • 1¼ cups loosely packed basil leaves, cut into thin strips
  • ⅓ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large skillet, sauté the onion in oil and butter for 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add mushrooms; cook 6-8 minutes longer or until mushrooms are tender and no liquid remains. Stir in salt and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, and mushroom mixture. Crumble beef and sausage over the mixture; mix well.
  3. On a large piece of heavy-duty foil, pat the beef mixture into a 15x10x1-inch rectangle. Layer the prosciutto, Havarti, basil, and tomatoes to within 1 inch of the edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side and peeling the foil away while rolling. Seal seams and ends.
  4. Place the loaf seam side down in a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 75-85 minutes or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°F. Let stand for 5 minutes. Using two large spatulas, carefully transfer the meatloaf to a serving platter.
  5. Enjoy this delicious stuffed meatloaf as a main dish for a hearty family dinner or serve it as a special dish for a gathering or celebration. Pair it with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
