Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 oz mixed wild mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of thyme to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and the cooled mushroom mixture. Mix with your hands until just combined.
  • Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining thyme on top. Bake for 45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • While the meatloaf bakes, rinse the wild rice and place it in a saucepan with the beef broth and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices alongside the wild rice pilaf.

merknader

Sautéing the mushrooms first removes excess moisture so the meatloaf holds together better. If you prefer a looser pilaf texture, stir the rice once halfway through cooking. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of broth to keep the meatloaf moist.
