Mix until combined. Add in the ground beef and pork, then continue mixing, just until combined. Do not over mix, or your meatloaf could become dense and tough.
Place the loaf in the pan of your choice that’s been sprayed with olive oil. Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add the remaining half of grated Gruyere cheese over the meatloaf and add the remaining caramelized onions on top. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the meat loaf is at least 160°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
