How to Make Bacon Swiss Meatloaf

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup (2 cups shredded) Swiss cheese, 3/4 cup (approximately 3 ounces) cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf in a greased 11x7x2 inch baking dish.
  5. Bake uncovered for 50 minutes.
  6. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the topping: Crumble 1/4 cup (approximately 1 ounce) cooked bacon and shred 1/2 cup (1 cup shredded) Swiss cheese.
  7. After 50 minutes of baking, remove meatloaf and sprinkle evenly with the remaining bacon and cheese.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
