The Best Blue Cheese Meatloaf Recipe with Mushrooms and Spinach

Ingredients

• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 0.5 cup plain bread crumbs
• 0.5 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 0.33 cup 2% milk
• 0.33 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch dried oregano
• 1 pinch dried basil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1.5 pounds extra-lean ground beef

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, spinach, mushrooms, bread crumbs, onion, milk, blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Add the ground beef and thoroughly mix all ingredients together using your hands. Pack the mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf to ensure it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
