Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds of beef
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
Parsley
Salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Mix about 2 cups of bread crumbs with 3/4 cups of milk
Ketchup
Slices of red onion (keep intact so they are large disks)
Red wine, eyeball it, about 1/2 cup (optional)

Steps:

Mix everything together in one big bowl. Mix it really well using your hands. Add as much ketchup as desired to this mixture. Form into a loaf or ring pan, or make a shape and bake it in a large pan. Top meat loaf with the red onions and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. You can substitute bacon slices for the onion. All ingredients can vary.

MEATLOAF WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Meatloaf With Caramelized Onions image

I couldn't find a recipe on this site (or elsewhere) for basic meatloaf with caramelized onions in the mix-not meatloaf with a topping of caramelized onions or "stuffed". Because I wanted the caramelized onions to take center stage, for that reason, you won't find any tomato sauce, mushrooms, no cheese, no strips of bacon on top, etc. in this recipe. The recipe was found on lifeisaplate.com and modified to my specifications. You can substitute other types of ground meat or use other meat in combination: turkey, chicken, buffalo, turkey, etc. Use any preferable binder of your choice, for example-finely ground breadcrumbs, almond or walnut meal, masa harina, rice flour. Brown rice was the binder I chose and it was ground to medium-coarse consistency (similar to cornmeal). The recipe was cut in half because I like meatloaf on the small size and save the larger size when I am need of a doorstop.

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 large yellow sweet onions, cut into 1-inch dice (Vidalia, Maui, Hermiston, etc.)
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
1 lb ground grass fed beef (read recipe intro^^)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (standard yellow mustard or Dijon will work)
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (soy sauce, Braggs will work, too)
1 garlic clove, minced (I used a small clove of garlic because the Worcestershire sauce I like is roasted garlic flavored.)
1/2 cup brown rice meal (read recipe ^intro)
dried parsley (optional)

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large pan on medium-low heat. Add the onions and sugar; cook until brown and sweet-approximately 20-30 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients with the caramelized onions (including all those browned bits at the bottom of the pan!); Do not overmix.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to an oiled or parchment-lined loaf pan. (I used a large soup spoon, patting the mixture down and into the corners of the pan. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the top of the loaf.) If desired, lightly sprinkle the top of the loaf with dried parsley.
Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until the meatloaf is not longer pink in the center.
Servings are estimated. Cooking time includes caramelizing the onions.
