Mushroom And Swiss Burger Meatloaf Food

MUSHROOM AND SWISS BURGER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Tear the pumpernickel into pieces, and place into the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to chop the bread into crumbs.
• Lightly mix the pumpernickel crumbs, ground chuck, ground pork, egg, onion, diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the reserved juice from the tomatoes, green pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce together in a bowl until the mixture is very well combined. Do not over mix, or the meat loaf will be tough.
• Place half the meat mixture into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan, and gently press to smooth the top. Place 3 slices of Swiss cheese over the meat mixture, and spread the sliced mushrooms evenly over the cheese. Top the mushrooms with the remaining 3 slices of Swiss cheese, and spread the rest of the meat mixture in an even layer over the cheese. Press the top gently to smooth.
• Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, then remove from oven and spread with the chili sauce in an even layer. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake until the juices run clear and the chili sauce has thickened into a glaze, about 15 more minutes. Let the meatloaf stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

BACON MUSHROOM SWISS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium heat until the pieces are browned. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Stir in onions and mushrooms, and cook until soft. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, stir together beef, egg, and milk. Stir in the onion and mushrooms. Mix in about 4 ounces of Swiss cheese, and all but 1 tablespoon of bacon. Stir in cornflake crumbs, and mix until well blended. Shape into a loaf, and place in a meatloaf pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour. Drain fat, and sprinkle with remaining cheese and bacon. Return to oven, and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

MUSHROOM SWISS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt butter and saute onion until no longer opaque (you can adjust the amount to 1/2 onion if your family doesn't love onions like mine).
• Slice mushrooms and add, cooking until done. (You may substitute a 4 oz. can of mushrooms, drained.)
• While onions are cooking, mix ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Stir well.
• Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil, approximately the size of a 9x13 pan.
• Spread meat mixture onto foil in the shape of the rectangle. Place cheese slices down the middle crosswise (down the short center). Pour on onions and mushrooms.
• Fold edges of meat in towards the center. Seal seam.
• Flip the meat over into a baking dish, such as a 9x13 glass dish, seam side down and make sure ends and seams are sealed and no filling is exposed.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes. This can be served alone, with ketchup (for a burger taste), or even with brown gravy, if desired.

MUSHROOM-SWISS TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Finely chop enough onion to yield 1/3 cup (reserve remaining rounds for burgers). In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high; cook chopped onion and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and mushrooms are golden, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop mixture.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Season onion rounds with salt and pepper; grill until lightly charred and tender, 5 minutes, flipping once. In a large bowl, combine mushroom mixture, turkey, and parsley. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; season with salt and pepper. Grill, about 4 minutes, flipping once. Top each patty with cheese; grill until burgers are cooked through and cheese is just melted, 1 minute. Serve burgers on buns with grilled onions, peppers, and arugula.
