Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf

Print Recipe

A heartwarming, satisfying meal featuring rich flavors of caramelized onions, savory ground beef, and gooey Swiss cheese, cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 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 the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until uniform.
  2. Form the beef mixture into a compact loaf and place it gently in the base of the crockpot.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they are deeply golden and softened.
  4. Stir the beef broth into 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 360 to 480 minutes (6 to 8 hours) or until the loaf is cooked through and juices run clear.
  7. About 10 minutes before serving, layer the Swiss cheese slices on top of the hot beefloaf, cover, and let the cheese melt completely.
  8. Slice and serve warm, ensuring each portion is topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, consider using a mix of ground beef and ground pork. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This beefloaf freezes well.
