★Ingredients
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
1/4 cup beef broth
★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 they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Add a splash of beef broth to deglaze the pan and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, minced garlic, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Mix in the cooled caramelized onions and half of the shredded cheese.
Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it down to form a loaf shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the meatloaf and return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy!
