Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf

A hearty and comforting crockpot beefloaf with rich flavors of ground beef and caramelized onions, topped with melted Swiss cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 900 grams ground beef
  • 120 grams breadcrumbs
  • 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 milliliters whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 grams fine sea salt
  • 2 grams freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 28 grams unsalted butter
  • 240 milliliters beef broth
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Blend the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until uniform.
  2. Form the beef mixture into a compact loaf and arrange it gently in the base of the crockpot.
  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and melt it. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes, or until they are deeply golden and softened.
  4. Stir in the beef broth to the caramelized onions and let it absorb the flavors for 2 minutes.
  5. Spoon the caramelized onion and broth mixture evenly over the prepared beefloaf inside the crockpot.
  6. Cover and cook on low heat for 360 to 480 minutes, or until the loaf is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  7. Layer the Swiss cheese slices on top of the hot beefloaf about 10 minutes before serving, cover, and allow it to melt completely.
  8. Slice and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the beef mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
