Here’s a tasty twist on classic comfort food: **Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf** 🥩🧀—a meatloaf inspired by the flavors of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. — ### 🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4–6) **For the meatloaf:** * 1 lb ground beef (or 50/50 beef and pork for extra flavor) * 1 small onion, finely chopped * 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese * ½ cup breadcrumbs * 1 egg * ¼ cup milk * 1 tsp salt * ½ tsp black pepper * 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce **Optional toppings:** * Extra provolone slices for the top * Sautéed onions and peppers for garnish — ### 👩‍🍳 Instructions 1. **Preheat oven** to 180°C (350°F). 2. **Sauté veggies** – cook onions, bell peppers, and garlic in a bit of oil until softened. Let cool slightly. 3. **Mix meatloaf ingredients** – in a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and the sautéed veggies. Mix gently. 4. **Shape meatloaf** – form into a loaf shape and place in a greased loaf pan or baking sheet. 5. **Add cheese** – either fold ½ cup of shredded cheese into the meat mixture or sprinkle on top before baking. 6. **Bake** – 50–60 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). 7. **Optional topping** – add extra provolone slices for the last 5 minutes of baking for a melty finish. 8. **Rest & serve** – let meatloaf rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Top with sautéed peppers and onions if desired. — ### 🔥 Tips * Use **half-and-half beef and pork** for a juicier meatloaf. * Don’t overmix the meat mixture—tough meatloaf happens with too much handling. * Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or on a soft hoagie bun for a true Philly vibe. — If you want, I can also give a **quick “single-pan” Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf recipe** that’s faster to make and super cheesy.
