Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf combines all the flavors of the classic sandwich — tender beef, sautéed peppers, onions, and gooey melted cheese — baked into a hearty, flavorful meatloaf for the ultimate comfort meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 8 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup provolone or mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 4 slices provolone cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms; sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cooked vegetables, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix gently until combined.
- Spread half of the mixture into the prepared pan. Add half the shredded cheese in the center, then cover with remaining meat mixture, sealing edges.
- Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Top with provolone slices and return to oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a few tablespoons of steak sauce or ketchup to the meat mixture.
- Substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella for a different twist.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers make excellent sandwiches the next day.
