Making the Crockpot French Onion Beefloaf With Melted Swiss Cheese involves simple steps. Follow this guide for seamless execution:
1. Prepare the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Sauté the sliced onions for 10-15 minutes or until they become golden and caramelized.
2. Mix the Beefloaf Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Incorporate Caramelized Onions: Allow the cooked onions to cool slightly. Then, fold them into the beef mixture, ensuring even distribution.
4. Shape the Beefloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape that will fit comfortably in your crockpot.
5. Set in the Crockpot: Place the beefloaf in the center of the crockpot. Cover it with the lid.
6. Cook: Set your crockpot to low and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours, or set to high for 3 to 4 hours.
7. Add Swiss Cheese: During the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese on top of the beefloaf. Cover again to allow the cheese to melt.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the beefloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
9. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the beefloaf from the crockpot and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
