Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon dried, ground or rubbed sage
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)

Directions:

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and saute’ until translucent, about 4 minutes.  Add garlic and mushrooms.  Cook until mushrooms are golden brown and liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.  Cool.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix beef and next 8 ingredients in large bowl until well blended.  Turn out onto large square of plastic wrap.  Pat into 9x 12 inch rectangle.  Spread mushroom filling over rectangle leaving 1/2 inch border on all sides.  Cover mushrooms with cheese.  Starting at one short side, roll the meat up jelly roll fashion.  Arrange seam side down in 9×5 inch loaf pan.  Bake until loaf shrinks from sides of pan and browns, about 1 hour.  Pour off any drippings.  Gently turn out loaf and let stand 10 minutes.  Cut into slices and serve.
