2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon FRESH chopped thyme
FRESH ground sea salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup beef broth

• Preheat your oven to 350°.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté onions 20-25 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.
• Add a splash of beef broth to deglaze the pan and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until cooked through.

• Top with remaining onions.
• Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
