Bacon Mushroom Swiss Cheese Meatloaf 🥩🧀🍄
A savory twist on the classic meatloaf, featuring crispy bacon, earthy mushrooms, and melty Swiss cheese that make every bite irresistible.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef 🥩
1/2 pound ground pork 🐖
1 cup breadcrumbs 🍞
1/2 cup milk 🥛
1 large egg 🥚
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled 🥓
1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped 🍄
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 🧀
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped 🧅
1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
1 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 🌶️
1/4 cup ketchup (for topping) 🍅
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional, for topping) 🍯
Instructions:
Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Add the Good Stuff:
Stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped mushrooms, chopped onion, and shredded Swiss cheese. Be sure to evenly distribute all the ingredients throughout the meat mixture.
Shape and Bake:
Transfer the meat mixture into a lightly greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and Dijon mustard, then spread this mixture over the top of the meatloaf for a nice glaze.
Bake:
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), and the top is golden and caramelized.
Serve:
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist, tender meatloaf.
Serve with mashed potatoes, a fresh salad, or your favorite side dish.
This Bacon Mushroom Swiss Cheese Meatloaf is packed with flavor and will make a perfect dinner that everyone will love. Enjoy the smoky, savory, and cheesy goodness in every bite! 🥩🧀🍄
