Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it's ready for baking your Creamy Mushroom Stuffed Meatloaf.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add half of the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 200g of finely chopped mushrooms along with the remaining onions, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Continue to sauté for approximately 8–10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the mushroom mixture and mix well to combine. Add 125g of cream cheese, stirring until it melts and becomes creamy.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 kg of ground beef, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 60g of oats, a pinch of thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour in 60ml of water.
  6. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Take about two-thirds of the meat mixture and press it into the bottom of the pan, creating a hollow tunnel.
  7. Spoon the cooled mushroom mixture into the tunnel you've created in the meat mixture.
  8. Place the assembled meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  9. Once baked, remove the Creamy Mushroom Stuffed Meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
