Equipment

- meatloaf pan
Ingredients
Bacon and Meat
- 12 ounces bacon strips, chopped and divided
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 5 pieces button mushrooms, chopped
- 1.5 pounds extra-lean ground beef
- 0.25 cup evaporated milk
- 1 large egg
- 6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded and divided
- 0.5 cup cornflake crumbs
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.
- Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet; cook until soft.
- 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.
- Shape into a loaf; place in a meatloaf pan.
- 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.
- Let meatloaf rest for a few minutes to make it easier to slice. Enjoy!
Notes
Any leftover meatloaf slices freeze well. Wrap each slice in foil or place in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in the microwave with a splash of beef broth to keep the meatloaf moist.
