✅ Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
½ lb 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 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
📖 Instructions
Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment.
Mix base: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit 5 minutes until softened.
Combine ingredients: Add ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan, onions, mushrooms, bacon, Swiss cheese, eggs, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined (do not overmix).
Shape loaf: Transfer mixture to loaf pan or shape free-form on a baking sheet.
Bake: Cook uncovered for 50–55 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Rest & serve: Let sit 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra Swiss cheese or parsley if desired.
🔑 Notes
Don’t overmix the meat — it keeps the loaf juicy and tender.
For a crispier crust, bake free-form on a sheet instead of in a loaf pan.
Mushrooms add moisture and umami — sauté them first for richer flavor.
🌟 Variations
Cheese Swap: Try provolone or mozzarella instead of Swiss.
Glazed Top: Brush with ketchup, BBQ sauce, or Dijon mustard before baking.
Low-Carb Version: Use almond flour or crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs.
Veggie Boost: Add chopped spinach or shredded zucchini.
❄️ Storage
Fridge: Store slices in airtight container up to 4 days.
Freezer: Wrap tightly in foil, freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
Reheat: Warm slices in oven at 325°F until heated through.
