Swiss Cheese Meat Loaf Recipe

  • 1 slice bacon, cut into thirds
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers
  • 5 tablespoons shredded Swiss cheese, divided
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  1. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked but not crisp. Drain on a paper towel; set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the egg, crackers, 4 tablespoons cheese, onion, garlic, salt, sage and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pan. Place bacon pieces over top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 2-4 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F and cheese is melted.
