Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the meatloaf.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, onions, mushrooms, bacon, Swiss cheese, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix the ingredients until they are just combined, being careful not to overmix.
3. Press the meatloaf mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup over the top, creating a delicious glaze. Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
Notes
To ensure your Swiss Cheese & Mushroom Meatloaf turns out perfectly, avoid overmixing the ingredients. Additionally, be sure not to pack the meatloaf mixture too tightly into the pan. For a deliciously moist and flavorful meatloaf, consider sautéing the onions and mushrooms before adding them to the mixture.
