Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf

This Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf is a hearty meatloaf infused with the rich flavors of caramelized onions and topped with gooey Swiss cheese, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy gatherings.

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. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Shape the beef mixture into a compact loaf and place it gently into the base of your crockpot.
  3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced onions. Cook while stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes, or until the onions are deeply golden and softened.
  4. Stir the beef broth into the caramelized onions and allow it to absorb for about 2 minutes.
  5. Spoon the caramelized onions and broth mixture evenly over the beefloaf in 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 10 minutes before serving. Cover and allow the cheese to melt completely.
  8. Slice the beefloaf and serve warm, generously topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or herbs like thyme to the onion mixture. The meatloaf can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
