🍳 Directions:
Caramelize the Onions:
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
Mix the Meatloaf:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Shape the Meatloaf:
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in the crockpot.
Top with Onions:
Top the meatloaf with the caramelized onions, spreading them evenly over the top.
Cook:
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Add Cheese:
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the meatloaf. Cover and let it melt.
Rest and Slice:
Once done, carefully lift the meatloaf from the crockpot and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve:
Slice and serve, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
