Grown up Meatloaf

Grown Up Meatloaf

2 tbsp butter

1- 8oz pkg sliced fresh mushrooms

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1 1/2 lb ground round

1/2 c. italian seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese

1/4 c. milk

1 large egg beaten

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Wax Paper

1 1/2 c. (6 oz) shredded italian cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms, shallot, and garlic, and saute for 5 minutes or until tender.Gently stir together ground round and the next 6 ingredients in a large bowl just until combined. Shape mixture into a 14x 10 inch rectangle on a sheet of wax paper. Top with mushroom mixture, and cheese, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border on all sides. Roll up, jelly roll fashion, starting at 1 long side and using wax paper as a guide, it will be a pain but in the end its worth it. Place meatloaf roll seam side down carefully, in a lightly greased 15x 10 inch jelly roll pan. Bake for 1 hour or until temp reads 160 degrees. Note* I tried this with topping it with spaghetti sauce when done, another option is to serve with spaghetti or a plain cooked noodle.
