Description
Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf combines the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with the comfort of a juicy, cheesy meatloaf. It’s loaded with sautéed onions, peppers, melted provolone, and seasoned ground beef for a hearty, crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 8 oz mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp ketchup (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and the cooled vegetables. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Divide the mixture in half. Shape one half into a loaf on the prepared pan. Lay 4 slices of provolone cheese over the top.
- Place the remaining meat mixture on top, sealing the edges around the cheese. Top with the remaining 4 slices of provolone.
- Optional: spread a thin layer of ketchup on top for extra flavor and color.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra cheesiness, add shredded mozzarella between the meat layers.
- Use lean ground beef or ground turkey for a lighter version.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers make great sandwiches the next day.
