Instructions

For the creamy mushroom stuffing

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping onions, mincing garlic and chopping mushrooms. 
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and saute chopped onions over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove half of the onions and set aside. To the same pan add chopped mushrooms and saute over medium heat with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic and fresh thyme until most liquid from mushrooms is evaporated. Add flour and stir to coat the mushrooms, then add the cream cheese and let it melt over very low heat, then add the arugula and take off the heat to cool for 10 minutes. 

For the meatloaf

  • Meanwhile combine the ground beef, reserved sauteed onions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, oats, thyme, salt, pepper, paprika and water. Mix well. 
  • Oil a loaf pan and line the bottom and the sides of it with 2/3 of the meatloaf mixture to create a tunnel in the middle as shown in photos. Fill the tunnel with the creamy mushroom mixture and cover the top with the remaining meat. Make sure to seal the seams. Bake at 180C/350F for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the internal temperature reaches 70C/160F. Take out of the oven and cool for 10 minutes then slice and serve.
