Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients

For the Meatloaf

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef or turkey/chicken for a leaner option.
  • 2 cups Caramelized Onions slow-cooked for richness.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs or almond flour for gluten-free.
  • 2 large Eggs fresh for best results.
  • 1 cup Cheese Swiss or Gruyère, shredded.
  • ½ cup Milk or broth, low-sodium preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

For the Topping

  • 1 cup Extra Cheese shredded, for topping.
  • 1 cup Gravy homemade or store-bought.

Instructions

Instructions

  • Caramelize Onions: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs or almond flour, eggs, the caramelized onions, milk or broth, cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Shape Loaf: Transfer the mixture into a greased loaf pan, shaping it evenly. Press it down gently to ensure it holds together during baking.
  • Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the meatloaf for 50-60 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Rest and Serve: Once baked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Allowing the meatloaf to rest will enhance its juiciness and make slicing easier.
