1. Preheat oven to 350F

4. In a separate bowl, lightly wisk together the eggs, and all the spices.
5. Combine eggs, spices, and meats together and mix.
6. Add bread crumbs and mix until just combined.
7. Place one half of the meatloaf into a 8.5" x 4.5" x 5.5" loaf pan, then create a trench in the middle of this half of the meat.
8. Mix together the caramelized onions and bleu cheese crumbles and pack this mixture tightly into the trench created in the previous step.
9. Flatten remaining meat mixture to approximately the size of the top of the loaf pan, then press firmly on top of the filling, trying to seal the edges as best as possible.
10. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hr 30 min, or until a probe thermometer placed in the center of the meatloaf reads at least 160.
11. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 min before carefully removing from the loaf pan.
