Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef
8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp thyme (optional)
1/4 cup ketchup (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Sauté mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a skillet until softened (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well.
Gently fold in the Swiss cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan.
Spread ketchup over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a leaner version, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey.
Leftovers make great sandwich fillings the next day.
Feel free to use other cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella if you prefer.
You can store cooked meatloaf in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
