Onion Meatloaf (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/4 cup beef broth.
02 - 1 1/2 pounds ground beef.
03 - 1/2 cup milk.
04 - 1 cup breadcrumbs.
05 - 1 beaten egg.
06 - 2 tablespoons butter.
07 - 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.
08 - 1 teaspoon thyme (dried).
09 - 2 chopped garlic cloves.
10 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
11 - 2 large onions, thinly sliced.
12 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
13 - 1/2 teaspoon salt.
14 - 1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up.
02 - Melt butter in a pan on medium. Cook the onions until they turn golden and sweet (this takes about 20-25 minutes). Add beef broth to the pan, stir it around, and let the liquid disappear. Let the onions cool off.
03 - Use a big mixing bowl to combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until it’s blended well.
04 - Mix in the caramelized onions and half of the cheese. Shape the meat into a loaf and place it in a dish for baking.
05 - Pop it in the heated oven and bake for an hour, or until the inside of the meatloaf hits 160°F (70°C).
06 - Scatter the rest of the shredded cheese on top. Stick it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, so the cheese melts and gets gooey.
07 - Give the meatloaf a 10-minute break before slicing it up. Pair it with anything you love eating on the side.

# Notes:

01 - Great option for a cozy family meal.
02 - Blends the taste of French onion soup with a classic loaf.
