French Onion Meatloaf
Our French Onion Meatloaf is an incredible combination of caramelized onions, lean ground beef, and a hint of thyme, all topped with melty Gruyère cheese.
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℉ 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℉.
- 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
