French Onion Beef Delight (Print Version)

Juicy beefloaf with sweet onions and Swiss cheese, slow-cooked for bold, hearty flavor.

# Ingredients:

→ Beefloaf Base

01 - 2 pounds ground beef
02 - 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
03 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1/4 cup whole milk
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Topping

09 - 2 large yellow onions, sliced
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 1 cup beef broth
12 - 8 slices Swiss cheese

# Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
02 - Form the beef mixture into a loaf shape and carefully place it in the bottom of the crockpot.
03 - Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and tender, about 20 minutes.
04 - Add beef broth to the caramelized onions and stir, allowing the mixture to absorb the flavors for 2 minutes.
05 - Spoon the onion and broth mixture evenly over the beefloaf in the crockpot.
06 - Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
07 - Ten minutes before serving, layer Swiss cheese slices over the hot beefloaf. Cover and let the cheese melt thoroughly.
08 - Slice the beefloaf and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.

# Notes:

01 - For even cooking, avoid compressing the meatloaf mixture too tightly in the crockpot.
