# Ingredients:

1 egg, whisked.

1/2 cup milk.
03 -
2 onions, sliced thinly.
04 -
1 cup of breadcrumbs.
05 -
1 teaspoon thyme, dried.
06 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt.
08 -
1 1/2 pounds of ground beef.

1 tablespoon of Dijon.

2 minced garlic cloves.

2 tablespoons of Worcestershire.
12 -
2 tablespoons butter.
13 -
1/4 cup beef stock.
14 -
1 cup shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up.
02 -
Melt butter in a pan on medium heat. Cook the sliced onions slowly until they turn golden and sweet, about 20-25 minutes. Pour in a bit of beef stock to scrape up the brown bits, then stir until it’s soaked up. Let them cool off for later.
03 -
Mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, egg, Worcestershire, mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Work everything together until it's all mixed up.
04 -
Blend in the golden onions and half of the cheese. Shape this mix into a loaf and settle it into your baking dish.
05 -
Put the dish into the warmed-up oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the inside hits 160°F (70°C).
06 -
Spread the leftover cheese over the cooked loaf. Pop it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese melts and shines.
07 -
Let the meatloaf chill out for 10 minutes once it's out of the oven. Slice it up and enjoy with whatever sides you like!
