Crockpot French Onion Meatloaf with Melted Swiss Cheese 🍖🧅

---

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Sauté the onions (optional but recommended):

• In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil.
• Add sliced onions and cook until golden and soft (about 10–12 mins), stirring often. Set aside.

2. Make the meatloaf mixture:

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire.
• Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.

3. Shape and place in crockpot:

• Form into a loaf shape and place in the center of your crockpot.
• Spoon the sautéed onions on top.
• Pour beef broth around the loaf (not over it) for moisture.

4. Slow cook:

• Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours until fully cooked (internal temp should be 160°F / 71°C).

5. Melt the cheese:

• Lay Swiss cheese slices over the top of the meatloaf.
• Cover and let melt for the last 10–15 minutes.

6. Serve:

• Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
• Spoon some broth/onion mixture over each slice and garnish with parsley.
