Description
This Classic Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf combines all the flavors of a traditional Philly cheesesteak—juicy ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melty provolone cheese—into a cozy, oven-baked meatloaf. Perfect for a comforting family meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
- 1/4 cup ketchup (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped onions and bell peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and the sautéed vegetables. Mix well.
- Fold in half of the provolone cheese.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Top with remaining provolone cheese slices and spread a thin layer of ketchup, if using.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
Notes
- Use ground turkey for a different texture.
- Add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Swap breadcrumbs for almond flour for a low-carb version.
- Make ahead by refrigerating the uncooked mixture for up to 24 hours before baking.
