• Heat oil in heavy pan, add onions, turn heat to low and let onions cook and caramelize, stirring every few minute until onions are nicely brown (about 30-40 min., don't rush this step, be careful not to burn onions), add garlic & thyme; cook about 2 minute more. When onions have cooked 15 min., preheat oven to 375.
• While onions are cooking put ground beef in a medium bowl, let come to room temp, mix together eggs, sour cream horseradish and worcestershire sauce.
• When onions are done, add bread crumbs and onion mixture to meat, season with salt and pepper, then add egg/sour cream mixture. Use your hands to GENTLY combine until all ingredients are mixed. Handle meat as litttle as possible.
• Spray broiler or roasting pan with non-stick spray, form meat into a loaf shape and place on pan.
• Bake about 1 1/2 hours or until meatloaf is nicely browned on the outside and internal temperature is 155-160 degrees.

MEATLOAF WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

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.
