Mix gently until just combined (don’t overwork the meat).
Shape into a loaf on a baking sheet or use a loaf pan.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the internal temp is 160°F (71°C).
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Make the Caramelized Onion Gravy:
In a skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and cook low and slow for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute to cook it out.
Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly.
Add Worcestershire and let simmer until thickened (about 5–8 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper, and a splash of cream if desired.
🍽️ Serve:
Slice meatloaf and spoon that rich onion gravy generously over the top. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, or green beans for a full comfort-food feast.
