Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
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
1/2 cup ketchup (for topping)
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Ingredients:
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it. Sauté the chopped onions and mushrooms in the same skillet until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent. Set aside to cool.
Mix Meatloaf:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, cooked bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, and mushrooms. Add the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
Shape and Bake:
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet. Spread the additional 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the meatloaf is cooked through.
Rest and Serve:
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute and makes slicing easier.
Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes!
