Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the milk and breadcrumbs. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
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.
Fold in the shredded Swiss cheese and crumbled bacon, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it evenly in the pan.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a glaze.
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).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to set before slicing.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.
Slice the meatloaf into portions and serve warm. Enjoy with a side of mashed potatoes or green vegetables for a complete meal.
