Crockpot French Onion Meatloaf with Melted Swiss Cheese 🍖🧅

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup beef broth
• 8 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions:

Prepare the Meat Mixture:

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Form the Loaf:

Shape the beef mixture into a loaf form. Place the loaf carefully in your crockpot.

Caramelize the Onions:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook them slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become caramelized, which takes about 20-25 minutes. Once caramelized, pour in the beef broth and continue cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Add Onions to the Meatloaf:

Pour the caramelized onions with broth over the meatloaf in the crockpot.

Slow Cook the Meatloaf:

Set the crockpot to low and cook the meatloaf for 6 to 8 hours, or until it reaches the desired doneness.

Melt the Cheese:

About 10 minutes before serving, lay Swiss cheese slices over the top of the meatloaf. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the meatloaf hot, sliced with the gooey melted cheese on top, and enjoy the rich, savory flavors!
