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 Gruyère or Swiss cheese shredded
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 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.
