#### Instructions:
1. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:**
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, French onion soup mix, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. **Shape the Meatloaf:**
– Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. **Bake the Meatloaf:**
– Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until cooked through.
5. **Prepare the French Onion Topping:**
– While the meatloaf is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

– Pour beef broth over the caramelized onions and simmer for a few minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
7. **Add Cheese and Finish:**

8. **Serve:**
– Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
