Cut thin slice from top of loaf. Scoop out most of the bread. Tear to make 1-1/2 cups bread crumbs. Brown onion and mushrooms in 1-1/2 tablespoons butter. Beat egg with catsup. Mix in bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of cheese, wine and seasonings. Lightly mix in beef and onion mix. Spoon into hollow bread loaf. Rub crust with remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Wrap in foil. Bake at 375 for 1 hr. to 1 hr. 15 min. Fold back the foil and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
