Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
• ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
• 16 buttery crackers, crushed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 3x7 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Beat the eggs in a bowl to mix. Whisk in the cracker crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and sage. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the Swiss cheese to use as a topping, and stir the rest into the egg mixture along with the ground beef. Pack the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). About 2 minutes before the meatloaf is ready, sprinkle with the reserved Swiss cheese, and return to the oven until melted.
