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 a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or broth to the meat mixture next time.

This meatloaf was a little too dense for my taste. I think I would use less bread crumbs next time.

This meatloaf was good, but not great. The flavor was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatloaf turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
