Swiss Cheese Meat Loaf image

I saw this recipe on a TV show on Amish cooking in the 1980s, and I've adapted it to suit our tastes. The Swiss cheese and bacon make it very satisfying on cold fall and winter evenings.

This meatloaf was delicious! I loved the combination of the ground beef, pork, and Swiss cheese. The bread crumbs and eggs helped to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This meatloaf was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time, maybe some garlic powder or onion powder.
