Amish Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs (about 3/4 of a sleeve)
3/4 cup grated swiss cheese, divided
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
2 -3 slices bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine evaporated milk, sage, egg, salt, pepper, crumbs, 1/2 cup of the Swiss cheese, onion, and ground beef.
Mix until just combined, do not overmix.
Pack into loaf pan and arrange bacon strips on top (again, I do not use these).
Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of Swiss cheese, and return to oven for 10 minutes.
Let stand 5-10 minutes (I remove from pan with slotted spatula so it drains a bit).
Slice and serve.
