  2. Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms in the bacon fat for 4-5 minutes until browned.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
  5. Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape, making an indentation in the center to add Swiss cheese and top with bacon and mushrooms.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), allowing to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Drizzle with pan juices and garnish with parsley before serving.
