Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 900 grams ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 120 grams breadcrumbs
  • 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 milliliters whole milk Add more if using turkey to keep it moist.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce Don’t skip for better flavor.
  • 5 grams fine sea salt
  • 2 grams freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large yellow onions Finely chop for even cooking.
  • 28 grams unsalted butter For caramelizing onions.
  • 240 milliliters beef broth
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese Can be substituted with gouda or cheddar.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until uniform.
  2. Form the beef mixture into a compact loaf and gently arrange it in the base of the crockpot.
Onion Caramelization
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until they are deeply golden and softened.
  3. Stir in the beef broth to the caramelized onions, allowing it to absorb and enrich the mixture for 2 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Evenly spoon the caramelized onion and broth mixture over the prepared beefloaf inside the crockpot.
  2. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the loaf is cooked through and juices run clear.
  3. About 10 minutes before serving, layer Swiss cheese slices on top of the hot beefloaf, cover, and allow the cheese to melt completely.
  4. Slice and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.
