Ingredients
  

1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)

1 cup French onion soup (canned or homemade)

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably garlic or herb flavor)

1 large onion, sliced thin

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, beaten egg, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

    Mix the ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into a loaf shape.

      Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the crockpot to create a bed for the meatloaf.

        Carefully set the formed meatloaf on top of the onions in the crockpot.

          Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.

            About 30 minutes before the meatloaf is done, sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf from the crockpot and transfer to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.

                Slice the meatloaf and serve with the caramelized onions from the bottom of the crockpot spooned over the slices.

                  Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
