Ingredients:
For the Meatloaf:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup gluten-free bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Swiss Filling:
1 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms (cremini or button mushrooms work well)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
For the Glaze (Optional):
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mushroom Filling:
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until tender and the moisture evaporates.
Set aside to cool.
2. Make the Meatloaf Mixture:
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, gluten-free bread crumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly.
3. Assemble the Meatloaf:
Place the meat mixture on parchment paper or plastic wrap and shape it into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the meat.
Sprinkle grated Swiss cheese on top.
Roll the meatloaf tightly into a log, sealing the edges to keep the filling intact.
4. Cook the Meatloaf:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the rolled meatloaf seam-side down in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
5. Add the Glaze (Optional):
In a small bowl, mix ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar.
Spread the glaze over the top of the meatloaf during the last 10 minutes of baking for a caramelized finish.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
