Burgundy Meatloaf in Sourdough

Directions

Cut a thin slice from the top of the loaf.

Scoop out most of the bread.

Tear to make 1½ cups soft crumbs (top slice and remaining bread can be used as bread crumbs in other recipes).

Brown onion and mushrooms in 1½ tablespoon of the butter.

Beat egg with ketchup.

Mix in bread crumbs, ½ cup of the cheese, wine and seasonings.

Lightly mix in ground beef and onion mixture.

Spoon meat mixture into hollowed-out bread.

Rub crust with remaining ½ tablespoon butter.

Wrap in foil.

Bake at 375℉ (190℃) F for 1 hour to 1¼ hours.

Fold back foil and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese.

Return loaf to oven.

Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.

Cut into 1 inch slices.
