Caramelizing Onions

  • Heat olive oil & butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in onion slices and cook for 20 minutes, stirring every so often to prevent over browning. The onions should soften down and be caramelized.
  • Add in balsamic vinegar to onions and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool while making the meatloaf mixture.

Meatloaf Mixture

  • In a large bowl mix together ground beef, panko crumbs, eggs, half (1/2) of the shredded cheese, beef broth, Worcestershire, garlic powder, thyme, salt, black pepper, and Lipton onion soup mix.
  • Fold in half (1/2) of the caramelized onions. Place meatloaf mixture onto a deep sheet pan covered with parchment. Form mixture into a loaf shape.
  • Bake in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes until internal temperature is over 165 degrees.
  • Place remainder of the onions on top of the cooked meatloaf. Top with remainder of the shredded cheese.
  • Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees or set oven to broil. Place pan with meatloaf back in oven for 5 or so minutes until cheese has melted and light golden brown.
  • Let sit on top of counter for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve up with favorite sides.
