Ingredients:

For the Meatloaf:

1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)

1 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup mushrooms, diced (button or cremini work well)

3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 egg

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: fresh parsley, chopped

For the Topping:

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Optional: a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.

Cook the Mushrooms and Onion:

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and mushrooms until soft and any moisture has evaporated. Let cool slightly.

Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cooked mushrooms and onion, crumbled bacon, Swiss cheese, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Shape the Meatloaf:

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.

Prepare the Topping:

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and brown sugar (and hot sauce, if using). Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

Rest and Serve:

Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes or your favorite sides!
