Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic and cook until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let soak for 5 minutes.
- In the same bowl, add ground beef, ground pork, sautéed vegetables, beaten eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and smoked paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Use your hands to gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded Swiss cheese.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape the meat mixture into a loaf about 9x5 inches.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is cooked to the correct internal temperature. Resting the meatloaf after baking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Meatloaf sandwiches are a great way to use leftover meatloaf!
