Ingredients:


1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground chicken or turkey

1 cup breadcrumbs

½ cup milk

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup finely chopped onions

1 cup finely chopped mushrooms

4 slices beef bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup ketchup (for topping)

Directions:


Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).


Prepare Ingredients:

Cook the beef bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.


Mix Meatloaf:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground chicken or turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, cooked beef bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, and mushrooms. Add the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.


Shape and Bake:

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet. Spread the remaining ½ cup of ketchup evenly over the top.


Bake:

Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the meatloaf is fully cooked through.


Rest and Serve:

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to settle. Then, serve.


Notes:


Swiss cheese can be substituted with cheddar or mozzarella if preferred.

For added texture, toss in finely chopped bell peppers or spinach into the meat mixture.
