🧾 Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk; let sit for 5 minutes. Then add ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan, onions, mushrooms, bacon, Swiss cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Use clean hands or a sturdy spoon to mix until well combined—don’t overmix to avoid a dense texture.
3. Form the Loaf
Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and shape into a loaf. If you want extra bacon flavor, lay a few uncooked slices on top.
4. Bake
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.
💡 Tips & Serving Ideas:
For a glaze: Mix ketchup with a bit of Dijon mustard and brown sugar and brush over the top before baking.
Add heat: Toss in a dash of crushed red pepper or diced jalapeños.
Cheese swap: Swiss pairs beautifully, but Gruyère or provolone are delicious alternatives.
Side dishes: Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, or garlic butter carrots.
