1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined—don't overmix!
3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a lined or greased baking sheet (or in a loaf pan).

2. Make the Caramelized Onion Gravy
1. While the meatloaf bakes, heat butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
3. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
4. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
