French Onion Meatloaf Recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef (or half beef, half pork for extra flavor)
  • 1 packet French onion soup mix
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
  • 1 medium onion, caramelized (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

For topping:

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Gently fold in caramelized onions (if using) and shredded cheese.
  4. Transfer mixture into the loaf pan, shaping it evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread evenly on top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake uncovered for 55–65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

Would you like me to make this classic-style (like above), or would you prefer a cheesy stuffed version where the cheese melts in the center when sliced?
