1/4 cup beef broth.
06 -
1/2 cup milk.

2 tablespoons butter.

# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up.
02 -
Drop the butter into a skillet warmed over medium heat. Toss in the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn sweet and golden (around 20-25 minutes). Pour in some beef broth to scrape up the browned bits, then stir until the liquid disappears. Cool them off afterward.

Toss the ground beef, breadcrumbs, garlic, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper into a big mixing bowl. Stir until everything's mixed up nicely.
04 -
Mix half of the cheese and the cooled onions into the meat mixture. Form it into a loaf shape and set it into your baking dish.
05 -
Pop it in the oven and let it cook for about an hour, or until it hits 160°F (70°C) inside.
06 -
Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese over the top and bake for another 5-10 minutes until it’s bubbly and melted.
07 -
Once it's out of the oven, let it sit for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with whatever sides you like best.
