Instructions
- Prepare the caramelized onions by thinly slicing 2 large onions and cooking them in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil until golden brown and sweetly caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the caramelized onions. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Spread shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy crust if desired.
- Optionally, brush the meatloaf with a bacon bourbon glaze during the last 10 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère for different flavor profiles.
- Ensure caramelized onions are well browned for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
