This family-pleasing meatloaf is enriched with cubes of Colby or Cheddar cheese and a savoury base of sautéed mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Combined with ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and seasonings, it creates a moist and flavourful centrepiece. The loaf is baked until firm, then rested briefly before slicing. It yields a satisfying and cheesy main course perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup mushroom, finely diced
1 cup onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground beef (I use venison)
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup plain yogurt or 1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces colby cheese or 8 ounces cheddar cheese, 1/2 inch cubes

Method

Cook the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in butter until tender, which should take 5-6 minutes.
Place the mushroom mixture into a large bowl with all the other ingredients. Mix everything together, then gently fold in the cheese cubes by hand.
Transfer the mixture to an 8x8 inch square pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
After baking, pour off any excess liquid and allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes prior to slicing.
