Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally for 20-25 minutes until golden and caramelized. Remove half of the onions and set aside for the sauce.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and the remaining caramelized onions. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place in a baking dish or loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes.
While the meatloaf bakes, return the reserved onions to the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in beef broth and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and top with shredded Swiss cheese, followed by slices of provolone. Return to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the onion sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the meat mixture.
Make sure to let the meatloaf rest before slicing to maintain its juiciness.
This dish can be paired with mashed potatoes or a simple salad for a complete meal.
