Description
Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf is a flavorful twist on the classic dish, packed with sautéed green bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, all stuffed and topped with gooey Provolone cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 pounds lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 8 ounces of Provolone cheese slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggies: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, melt butter and sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and minced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
- Mix the Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, and the cooled veggies. Mix well.
- Assemble the Meatloaf: Press half of the meat mixture into a greased loaf pan. Place half of the Provolone cheese slices on top, then add the remaining meat mixture and shape into a loaf.
- Bake: Bake for 40 minutes. Then, top with the remaining cheese slices and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Let It Rest: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it tender and juicy.
Notes
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a side of crusty bread.
- Cheese Variations: Swap provolone for white American cheese or Swiss for a different flavor.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the mixture.
