Mediterranean French Onion Meatloaf

🛒 Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

500 g (1 lb) ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian style)

½ cup milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese for a Mediterranean touch

For the French Onion Glaze:

2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon brown sugar (to help caramelize)

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

½ cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon tomato paste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a loaf pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Make the Caramelized Onion Glaze

In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter and olive oil.

Add the sliced onions and brown sugar. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until golden and caramelized.

Stir in balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).

Reserve half for topping and let the rest cool slightly.

Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk; let soak for 2–3 minutes.

Add ground beef, eggs, garlic, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until combined — do not overmix.

Fold in the cooled half of the caramelized onion mixture and feta (if using).

Shape and Bake

Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet or in a loaf pan.

Spoon the remaining caramelized onion glaze evenly over the top.

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Rest and Serve

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with parsley

Bon appétit
