meatloaf with mushrooms This meatloaf is certain to become a family favorite. Sliced leftovers make great sandwiches. Makes two meatloaves, 8½x4½x2½ inches each, 16 to 20 servings cooking spray 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 12 ounces mushrooms, chopped or sliced 1½ cups chopped onion 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped 2½ teaspoons thyme 2¼ cups fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old crusty French bread) 1 cup milk (whole, reduced fat, lowfat, or fat free) 3 large eggs 6 tablespoons tomato paste (unsalted if available) 3 pounds ground meatloaf mix (1½ pounds ground round, ¾ pound ground pork, ¾ pound ground veal) 6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1½ teaspoons kosher salt ¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat two 8½x4½x2½-inch loaf pans* with cooking spray. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cook until mushrooms and onions are softened (onions will become translucent), about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Place breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, and tomato paste in the Cuisinart™ mixing bowl. Insert flat mixing paddle. Turn to speed 3 and mix for 30 seconds. Add cooled mushroom/onion mixture, mix until combined, 15 to 20 seconds. Add ground meat, parsley, salt, and pepper. Continue to mix on speed 3 until well combined, about 45 seconds. Transfer mixture to the prepared loaf pans, rounding the top slightly. Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 1 hour; meatloaf is done when internal temperature is 170°F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. Let meatloaf rest 10 minutes before removing from pan slicing. *May also be formed into oval loaves and baked in a 13x9x2-inch roasting pan. 10
