Ingredients

Meatloaf Mixture:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork (adds extra juiciness and flavor)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk (keeps it moist)
  • 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

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup ketchup (for that classic glazed finish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Ingredients

  • Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it.
  • Sauté onions and mushrooms in the same skillet with a little bacon grease until softened. Set aside to cool.

3. Mix the Meatloaf

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, cooked bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, and mushrooms.
  • Add eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gently mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

4. Shape and Bake

  • Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread 1/2 cup ketchup evenly over the top for a flavorful glaze.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

5. Rest and Serve

  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing—this helps keep it juicy.
  • Serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
