Description

Bacon, onion, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese are added to ground beef in this bacon, mushrooms, Swiss cheese meatloaf recipe for a tweak on an old favorite.

Ingredients

12 ounces chopped raw bacon
1 small white onion, chopped
5 button mushrooms, chopped
1 1/2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 egg
6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; set aside 1 tablespoon bacon. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet.
3 Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet; cook until soft.
4 Combine beef, milk, and egg in a large bowl. Stir in onion and mushrooms. Add about 4 ounces Swiss cheese and all but 1 tablespoon bacon; stir to combine. Stir in cornflake crumbs until well blended.
5 Shape into a loaf; place in a meatloaf pan.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Drain fat; sprinkle with remaining 2 ounces Swiss cheese and reserved 1 tablespoon bacon. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
7 Let meatloaf rest for a few minutes to make it easier to slice. Enjoy!
