Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Caramelize Onions:

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the thinly sliced onions until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Fold in the caramelized onions and half of the shredded Gruyère cheese.
Shape and Bake:

Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Add Cheese and Finish Baking:

Sprinkle the remaining shredded Gruyère cheese over the top of the meatloaf and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
