Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 9 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 pint baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, cook bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté baby bella mushrooms with minced garlic until tender. Stir in parsley and Worcestershire sauce, then remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, dried minced onion, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, parsley, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
  5. Add cooked bacon and sautéed mushroom mixture to the meat mixture and combine thoroughly.
  6. Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place in a baking dish.
  7. Layer Swiss cheese slices over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh baby bella mushrooms and high-quality Swiss cheese. Letting the meatloaf rest after baking helps retain juices and makes slicing easier.
