Slow-cooked beefloaf crowned with caramelized onions and melted Swiss cheese, savory and satisfying.

Ingredients

Beefloaf Base

  • 900 grams ground beef
  • 120 grams breadcrumbs
  • 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 milliliters whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 grams fine sea salt
  • 2 grams freshly ground black pepper

Topping

  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 28 grams unsalted butter
  • 240 milliliters beef broth
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until uniform.
  2. Form the beef mixture into a compact loaf and arrange gently in the base of the crockpot.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until deeply golden and softened.
  4. Stir in beef broth to the caramelized onions, allowing it to absorb and enrich the mixture for 2 minutes.
  5. Evenly spoon the caramelized onion and broth mixture over the prepared beefloaf inside the crockpot.
  6. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the loaf is cooked through and juices run clear.
  7. About 10 minutes before serving, layer Swiss cheese slices on top of the hot beefloaf, cover, and allow to melt completely.
  8. Slice and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.

Notes

  • Allow the beef mixture to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before shaping to enhance texture.
  • For best results, use freshly grated Swiss cheese for optimal melting and flavor.
