Ingredients
Meatloaf Mixture:

- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk (keeps it moist)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Topping:

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.

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
