Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf

A satisfying dish combining ground beef, caramelized onions, and melted Swiss cheese, perfect for family dinners.

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. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is homogeneous.
  2. Shape the beef mixture into a compact loaf and place it gently at the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they become deeply golden and soft.
  4. Stir in the beef broth with the caramelized onions, allowing it to absorb and enrich the mixture for 2 minutes.
  5. Evenly spoon the caramelized onion and broth mixture over the prepared beefloaf in the crockpot.
  6. Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 360 to 480 minutes, or until the loaf is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  7. About 10 minutes before serving, layer the slices of Swiss cheese on top of the hot beefloaf, cover, and allow the cheese to melt completely.
  8. Slice the beefloaf and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.
