Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
• 0.75 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 8 ounces, finely diced Fresh mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and become golden. Stir in the fresh thyme, then set the mixture aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, eggs, soaked breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

On the lined baking sheet, shape about two-thirds of the meat mixture into a rectangular loaf, creating a shallow cavity in the center for the filling.

Step 6

Spread the cooked mushroom mixture evenly inside the cavity, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 7

Cover the filling with the remaining meat mixture, shaping it into a loaf and sealing the edges to encase the filling completely.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Step 9

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
