French Onion Meatloaf 

Ingredients:

    1 1/2 pounds ground beef

    1 cup breadcrumbs

    1/2 cup milk

    2 large onions, thinly sliced

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    1 egg, beaten

    2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    1 teaspoon dried thyme

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    2 tablespoons butter

    1/4 cup beef broth

    1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Directions:

    Preheat the Oven:

        Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.

    Caramelize the Onions:

        In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

        Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:

        In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

    Assemble the Meatloaf:

        Add half of the caramelized onions to the meatloaf mixture and gently fold to incorporate.

        Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.

    Top with Onions and Cheese:

        Spread the remaining caramelized onions over the top of the meatloaf.

        Pour the beef broth over the onions.

        Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese over the top.

    Bake:

        Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Serve:

        Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
