Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) italian or sourdough bread loaf |
2 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided |
1 small onion, chopped |
1/2 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 large egg |
6 to 7 tablespoons ketchup, divided |
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
1 pound lean ground beef |
1/2 cup dry red wine or beef broth |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. Cut bread loaf in half lengthwise. Scoop out bread, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Tear reserved bread into pieces, and measure 1 1/2 cups, reserving remaining bread pieces for other use. Set bread shells and 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs aside.
2. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add chopped onion and mushrooms, and saute 8 minutes or until tender.
3. Stir together egg and 2 tablespoons ketchup in a large bowl. Add onion mixture, 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup cheese, ground beef, and next 3 ingredients, blending well. Shape mixture into a 6- to 7-inch loaf. Place on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan.
4. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until done.
5. Spread bottom bread shell with mayonnaise; top with meat loaf. Top with remaining ketchup; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Top with remaining bread half. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter; brush over bread top. Wrap in aluminum foil.
6. Bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated.
