Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, cooking for 20-25 minutes until golden and caramelized. Save half for the sauce.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and remaining onions until just combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish or loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes.
While the meatloaf is baking, use the skillet with reserved onions, add remaining butter, and let it melt. Stir in flour, cooking for 1 minute while whisking. Gradually add beef broth and simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Take the meatloaf out of the oven, top with Swiss cheese and provolone slices, then broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serve with onion sauce on top.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
Make sure to let the meatloaf rest properly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Feel free to add your favorite herbs for extra flavor.
