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
Recipe
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 tablespoon 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 bubbling.
