Step-by-Step Instructions for Swiss Bacon Mushroom Meatloaf
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with foil.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Set it aside on paper towels. Sauté mushrooms in the bacon fat for about 5 minutes until browned.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan or baking sheet, shape it into a loaf, and create a well in the center. Layer with Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and bacon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, slice carefully, and serve warm, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender. Consider adding more cheese during the last few minutes of baking for extra flavor.
