Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Caramelize Onions
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Step 3: Combine Meatloaf Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir gently until combined, taking care not to overmix.
Step 4: Add Onions
Fold most of the caramelized onions into the meat mixture, saving a small amount to top the loaf later.
Step 5: Shape and Bake
Press the mixture into a loaf pan and spread the reserved onions on top. Bake for 45 minutes.
Step 6: Melt the Cheese
Remove the loaf from the oven and sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake another 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy and intact.
