- 1 cup caramelized onions
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, French onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then mix gently until everything is well combined.
2. Shape and Cook
Line your slow cooker with aluminum foil to make removal easier later. Shape the beef mixture into a loaf and place it inside the crockpot.
Cover and cook:
- Low setting: 6 hours
- High setting: 3 hours
3. Add the Toppings
About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, spoon the caramelized onions over the meatloaf and arrange the Swiss cheese slices on top.
Cover once again and continue cooking until the cheese becomes perfectly melted and bubbly.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Carefully lift the meatloaf from the crockpot using the foil edges. Slice and serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
