Once the onions are caramelized, pour 1 cup of beef broth into the skillet. Continue to cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, creating a rich onion mixture.
Add Onions to the Meatloaf:
Carefully pour the caramelized onion mixture over the meatloaf in the crockpot, spreading it out so it covers the top evenly.
Slow Cook the Meatloaf:
Set your crockpot to low and cook the meatloaf for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). The slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, making the meatloaf incredibly tender and flavorful.
Add the Swiss Cheese:
About 10 minutes before you’re ready to serve, layer the 8 slices of Swiss cheese over the top of the meatloaf. Cover the crockpot and allow the cheese to melt.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot. Slice and serve hot, savoring every bite of this deliciously comforting dish.
Tips and Variations
Make it Spicy: For a little heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the meatloaf mixture.
Try a Different Cheese: While Swiss cheese is classic, you can substitute with Gruyère, mozzarella, or even cheddar for a different flavor profile.
Onion Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use shallots or leeks in place of the onions for a slightly different taste.
