French Onion Meatloaf

Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsps grass-fed butter or ghee beef tallow, or avocado oil
  • 2 lbs sweet onions peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 lbs lean ground beef
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 Tbsps Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsps dried thyme
  • 4 fresh cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsps Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos
  • sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f. and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat the ghee, tallow, or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Sautee your thinly sliced onions, stirring quite often, for 25-30 minutes, until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a bit.
  • In a large bowl, add the beef, beaten eggs, almond flour, mustard, thyme, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, and pepper. Add in about 2/3 of the caramelized onions, reserving 1/3 for topping later.
  • Stir well to combine. Transfer to your prepared loaf pan and press gently to fill in all of the corners and make it nicely shaped as a loaf.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center temperature reaches around 150 degrees f.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with your freshly shredded cheese while it's hot.
  • Top with the remaining caramelized onions as shown.
  • If desired, you can place your meatloaf under the broiler oven for a few minutes to brown the onion and cheese toppings.
  • Slice and serve hot
