Ingredients
  

For the Meat Mixture
  • 1 lb ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
For the Filling
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms Sauté with onion for added flavor, if desired.
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese Can substitute with cheddar or pepper jack for different flavors.
For Topping
  • 6 slices bacon Arrange over the top for a crispy finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  3. On a piece of wax paper, pat the meat mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Layer the sliced mushrooms and shredded Swiss cheese down the center of the meat rectangle.
Forming the Loaf
  1. Carefully roll up the meat, sealing the edges to create a loaf shape.
  2. Arrange the bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf, covering it completely and tucking the ends underneath.
Baking
  1. Transfer the meatloaf to a baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  2. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure precise cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
