Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf:

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 packet dry French onion soup mix (such as Lipton or Knorr)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
  • 1 small onion (finely diced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Glaze:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion (sliced thin)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, broth, Worcestershire, Dijon, cheese, diced onion, parsley, and pepper. Mix until combined (I typically just use my hands to incorporate everything). Press the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the glaze. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and sugar; cooking until deep golden (10–12 minutes). Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn!
  • Add the Worcestershire, broth, and ketchup to the onions. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  • Spoon the glaze over the top of the meatloaf, then continue to bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Leftover meatloaf should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
  • You can enjoy leftovers as a main dish, or make meatloaf sandwiches with the slices.
