MEATLOAF WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS
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.

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.

Tips for Making Meatloaf in an Onion:
- Choose the right onion: Use a large, firm onion that will hold its shape during cooking. Yellow or white onions are good choices.
- Prepare the onion properly: Cut the onion in half lengthwise and scoop out the center, leaving about 1/2 inch of flesh around the edges. This will create a cavity for the meatloaf mixture.
- Use a well-seasoned meatloaf mixture: The meatloaf mixture should be flavorful and well-seasoned with herbs, spices, and vegetables. You can use your favorite meatloaf recipe or try one of the recipes provided in the article.
- Pack the meatloaf mixture into the onion: Press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the onion cavity, making sure to fill it evenly. You may need to use your hands to pack the mixture in tightly.
- Bake the meatloaf in an oven: Place the stuffed onion in a baking dish and bake it in a preheated oven until the meatloaf is cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the onion and the meatloaf mixture.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold together better.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf in an onion is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover meatloaf. Simply stuff the meatloaf mixture into an onion and bake it in the oven. You will have a tasty and unique meal in no time.
