Optional Topping:
- 4–6 slices provolone cheese for melting on top
- ½ cup ketchup, marinara, or cheese sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook Veggies:
- In a skillet, sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic until soft, about 5–6 minutes.
- Mix Meatloaf:
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, sautéed veggies, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Mix until evenly combined but don’t overwork.
- Shape Meatloaf:
- Place mixture in a loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
- Add Cheese:
- Fold some shredded cheese into the meat mixture.
- Optional: Place provolone slices on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Bake:
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- If using a topping sauce or extra cheese, add during the last 10–15 minutes of baking.
- Rest & Serve:
- Let meatloaf rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with a side of roasted potatoes, fries, or a simple salad.
💡 Tips:
- For an extra Philly touch, serve slices on toasted hoagie rolls with sautéed peppers and onions.
- You can swap provolone for cheddar or American cheese depending on preference.
If you want, I can also give a crockpot version of Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf so it cooks slow and stays super juicy. Do you want me to make that version?
