Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 whole large egg
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 cup button mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
• 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the milk and breadcrumbs. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, egg, diced onion, mushrooms, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix well with clean hands or a wooden spoon until evenly combined.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded Swiss cheese and crumbled bacon, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it evenly in the pan.

Step 6

Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a glaze.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to set before slicing.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Slice the meatloaf into portions and serve warm. Enjoy with a side of mashed potatoes or green vegetables for a complete meal.
