Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup swiss cheese
  • 45 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden and caramelized. Set aside half for the sauce.
  3. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and the remaining onions until just combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes.
  5. In the skillet, add the reserved onions and remaining butter. Melt, then whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 minute. Gradually add the beef broth and simmer until thickened.
  6. Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Top with Swiss cheese and provolone, then broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the onion sauce.

Notes

If you prefer a spicier flavor, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
Experiment with different cheeses for a unique taste.
Ensure to let the meatloaf rest before slicing to maintain its juiciness.
