Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup swiss cheese shredded
- 4–5 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden and caramelized. Set half aside for the sauce.

- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with onion sauce on top.
Notes
For extra richness, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
Serving it with mashed potatoes makes a comforting meal.
Allow the meatloaf to rest easily for better slicing.
