Mushroom & Swiss Stuffed Meatloaf

Meatloaf with a twist-this elegant version is stuffed with mushrooms and cheese and topped with a savory mushroom sauce.

Ingredients:

• 4 Tbsp butter
• 16 oz baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups onions, chopped
• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/4 cups seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 cans (10 3/4oz) Campbell's Golden Mushroom Soup
• 8-12 slices Swiss cheese (depending on size of slices)
• 1 cup water
• Salt & pepper

Directions:

Saute 2 tbsp butter, 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 1 cup chopped onions. Set aside to cool. Meatloaf Mixture: Combine into large bowl, ground beef, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 1/2 tsp pepper, seasoned salt, egg, seasoned bread crumbs, and 3/4 cup Campbell's Golden Mushroom Soup (saving remaining soup for gravy). Mix all ingredients well. Lay out a long sheet of plastic wrap. Spread meatloaf mixture onto plastic wrap about 3/4" thick. Lay slices of Swiss cheese over meat mixture, about 1/2" to 3/4" in from edge. Spread sauted mushrooms and onions over Swiss cheese. Using the plastic wrap, lift and roll the meatloaf (swiss roll style). Once it's all rolled up, seal the ends, so the filling won't come out while cooking. Remove the plastic wrap. Place meatloaf in oblong baking dish (sprayed with non-stick spray) seam side down. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 min. Mushroom Gravy: Add 1 full can and remaining can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup, plus 1 cup water to a medium sauce pan. Stir over medium heat. Sautee remaining 8 oz of mushroom slices in 2 tbsp of butter. Add sauteed mushrooms to gravy, and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. After cooking meatloaf for one hour and 15 min, place a few spoonfulls of gravy over meatloaf and return to oven for an additional 15 min. Serve the gravy over meatloaf slices.

Number of Servings: 6-8

Notes from the Cook: This meatloaf is as pretty as it is delicious! It slices up wonderfully for cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day. Try different variations such as cheddar and grilled onions with a savory cheese sauce.
