💡 Tips
- For extra Philly flavor, add thin slices of cooked steak or roast beef inside the meatloaf before baking.
- Use provolone cheese for authenticity, or mozzarella for a creamier melt.
- Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or a hoagie roll for a true Philly-inspired experience.
If you want, I can give a faster, one-pan version that cooks the veggies and meatloaf together for even easier cleanup.
