Beef & Pork
| This
is my absolute favorite meatloaf and, based on the email I receive, it
is a favorite with visitors to Busy Cooks, as well. The combination of
ingredients bakes into something truly wonderful.
12 ounces bacon, diced
4 medium white mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 Lb extra lean ground beef
1 egg
1/4 Cup evaporated milk or half & half
6 ounces shredded swiss cheese
1/2 Cup corn flake crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp but not burned. Remove with
a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and cool. Remove all but a
tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet and saute the mushrooms
and onions until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large
bowl, mix the beef, egg, and milk. Add the mushroom/onion mixture, all
but a few spoonfuls of the swiss cheese and all but one tablespoons of
the bacon bits. Add the corn flake crumbs and mix well until blended.
Shape into a loaf and place in a large loaf pan.
Bake at 350
for about an hour, or until cooked through. Drain fat from the pan and
sprinkle the reserved cheese and bacon on top. Bake an additional 5
minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 4 to 6 servings. |
