Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

  • 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Cheesesteak Filling:

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (4 for layering, 4 for topping)

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper and onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 pounds ground beef, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, ½ cup milk, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  3. Assemble the Meatloaf: Press half of the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a loaf pan. Layer 4 slices of provolone cheese over the meat, then spread the sautéed peppers and onions on top. Cover with the remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges and smooth the top.
  4. Bake: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes, then carefully remove the meatloaf and layer the remaining 4 slices of provolone cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter option.
  • Swap provolone cheese with mozzarella, Swiss, or American cheese based on preference.
  • Add sliced mushrooms to the sautéed vegetables for extra cheesesteak flavor.
  • For a low-carb variation, replace breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds.
  • Cover meatloaf with foil during baking if it browns too quickly.
