  • Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
  • Servings: 4
  • Yield: 1 - 3x7 inch meatloaf

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