# Ingredients:

→ Hearty Beefloaf Base

01 - 2 pounds ground beef
02 - 1 cup breadcrumbs
03 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - ¼ cup milk
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1 teaspoon salt
08 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ French Onion Magic

09 - 2 large onions, sliced
10 - 2 tablespoons butter
11 - 1 cup beef broth

→ Melty Swiss Topping

12 - 8 slices Swiss cheese

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together gently but thoroughly - you want it well combined but not overworked!
02 - Shape the mixture into a beautiful loaf and place it right in your crockpot. This is going to be the most tender, flavorful meatloaf you've ever made!
03 - In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add your sliced onions. Cook them slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until they're golden, soft, and absolutely gorgeous. This is where the French onion magic happens!
04 - Once your onions are beautifully caramelized, stir in the beef broth and let it absorb into those sweet, golden onions. The smell is going to be incredible!
05 - Spoon all those amazing caramelized onions and that flavorful broth right over the beefloaf in the crockpot. This is going to infuse so much flavor as it cooks!
06 - Cover and slow cook on low for 6-8 hours until the beefloaf is completely cooked through and tender. The slow cooking makes it incredibly moist and flavorful!
07 - About 10 minutes before serving, layer those Swiss cheese slices on top of the beefloaf and let them melt into golden, bubbly perfection. This is the finishing touch that makes it absolutely divine!
08 - Serve this beautiful beefloaf warm, topped with all that melted Swiss cheese and those incredible caramelized onions. It's comfort food at its absolute finest!

# Tips:

01 - This is like French onion soup and meatloaf had the most delicious baby! The slow cooking makes the beef incredibly tender while those caramelized onions add amazing depth of flavor.
02 - The key to perfect caramelized onions is patience - cook them low and slow until they're golden and sweet. It's totally worth the time!
03 - Using the crockpot means this practically cooks itself, and your house will smell absolutely amazing all day long!
