Craving comfort food with a twist? Try this irresistible Bacon Mushroom Swiss Cheese Meatloaf—packed with savory flavor, melty cheese, and crispy bacon in every bite. Perfect for your next cozy dinner!
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 12 ounces of bacon until browned. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon. Discard excess bacon grease, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Add chopped onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until soft. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, and milk. Mix in the cooked onion, mushrooms, about 4 ounces of Swiss cheese, and all but 1 tablespoon of bacon. Stir in cornflake crumbs until well combined. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a meatloaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Drain excess fat, then sprinkle the remaining 2 ounces of Swiss cheese and the reserved 1 tablespoon of bacon on top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
