Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf

A delightful twist on classic meatloaf, infused with caramelized onions and melted Swiss cheese for a hearty and satisfying meal.

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 until uniform.
  2. Form the beef mixture into a compact loaf and arrange it gently in the base of the crockpot.
  3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. 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, allowing it to absorb and enrich the mixture for 2 minutes.
  5. Spoon the caramelized onion and broth mixture 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 juices run clear.
  7. Layer the Swiss cheese slices on top of the hot beefloaf about 10 minutes before serving, cover, and allow to melt completely.
  8. Slice and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.
