- 9x5 Loaf Pan
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef I used a 93%
- 2 large onions sliced thin
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs plain or Italian
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup French onion soup mix 1 packet is 1/4 cup

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Peel onions, cut in half, and then thinly slice your onions (half moons).
- Heat up 1-2 tbsp of avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat and add onions. Cook for 12-15 min, until browned, reduced in size by about half, and caramelized. Add balsamic, stir in, and remove from heat. Let cool slightly before adding to meat.
- Combine meat, egg, breadcrumbs, French onion soup mix, dried thyme, and beef broth and mix well. Add 3/4 of your onion mixture and mix well.
- Add meatloaf mixture to a well-greased and parchment-lined 9x5 loaf pan, patting it smooth, and top with remaining caramelized onions.
