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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the thinly sliced onions until caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Deglaze the pan with beef broth, stirring until absorbed. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, minced garlic, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Fold in the caramelized onions and half of the shredded Gruyère cheese.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded Gruyère cheese over the top of the meatloaf and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use a blend of Gruyère and Swiss cheese.
Ensure the onions are fully caramelized to bring out their sweetness and depth of flavor.
