Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or loaf pan with foil or parchment paper.

2. Sauté Mushrooms & Onions:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped mushrooms (and onions, if using) with a bit of butter or oil until soft and browned. Set aside to cool.

3. Make the Meat Mixture:

   • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, cooled mushroom mixture, and shredded Swiss cheese.

   • Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined — don’t overmix.

4. Shape the Loaf:

   • Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a lined baking sheet or place it into a loaf pan.

5. Bacon Layer:

   • Drape bacon slices over the top (or wrap around the loaf) so it crisps while baking.

6. Glaze (Optional):

   • Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a bowl.

   • Brush on top of the bacon for a sweet-savory finish.

7. Bake:

   • Bake uncovered for 55–65 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

   • If bacon isn’t crisped to your liking, broil the top for 2–3 minutes.

8. Rest & Serve:

   • Let rest 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

   • Serve with mashed potatoes or a green veggie.
