Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Lightly grease a loaf pan or baking dish and set aside.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and salt. Cook slowly for 20\u201325 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally, until the onions become deep golden brown, soft, and jammy. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/p>\n In a large mixing bowl, combine:<\/p>\n Mix gently until everything is evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender and juicy.<\/p>\n Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking dish and shape it into a loaf approximately 9 inches long.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard until smooth and fully blended.<\/p>\n Spread half of the glaze evenly over the meatloaf. Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Spread the remaining glaze over the top and sides. Spoon the caramelized onions down the center of the loaf, creating a generous “crown” of onions.<\/p>\n Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes<\/strong>, or until the internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0F (71\u00b0C)<\/strong> and the glaze is bubbling around the edges.<\/p>\n Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes<\/strong> before slicing. This helps retain the juices and makes slicing easier.<\/p>\n Cook the onions low and slow for the deepest flavor. Sweet, savory, juicy, and loaded with buttery caramelized onions\u2014this meatloaf is pure comfort food perfection!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0THE ULTIMATE CARAMELIZED ONION CROWN MEATLOAF WITH SWEET BROWN SUGAR GLAZE The caramelized onions on top of this meatloaf change…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5792"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5794,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5792\/revisions\/5794"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
