1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup caramelized onions
1 cup Swiss cheese, sliced
Fresh thyme, for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the meatloaf mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, French onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten eggs, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
Form the meatloaf: Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the crockpot.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Add caramelized onions and cheese: During the last 30 minutes of cooking, spread the caramelized onions over the top of the meatloaf and lay the Swiss cheese slices on top. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot. Slice and garnish with fresh thyme for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve with mashed potatoes or a side of green beans for a complete, comforting meal.
