Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk
2 large onions, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 beaten egg
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup beef stock
1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Caramelize the Onions: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Add a splash of beef stock, stirring until it evaporates. Set the onions aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Fold in the cooled onions and half of the shredded cheese.
4. Shape and Bake: Form the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish. Bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
5. Add Cheesy Topping: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Rest and Serve: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
