Instructions

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

Feel free to add your favorite spices to the meat mixture for extra flavor.
Ensure the meatloaf is cooked through by checking that the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
