Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your mixing bowl, measuring cups, and a loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, onion, and garlic. Add breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently.
  3. Fold in shredded Swiss cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped mushrooms.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased loaf pan and shape it into a classic meatloaf form.
  5. Mix ketchup and brown sugar to make the glaze. Spread this mixture over the shaped meatloaf.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes, checking doneness with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
