🥩 Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf
Ingredients (4–6 servings):
Meatloaf:
- 1½ lb (700 g) ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Cheesesteak Filling:
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (green or a mix)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1–2 tsp olive oil
- 4–6 slices provolone cheese
Optional topping:
- Extra provolone slices
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
- Cook veggies:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms until soft, about 5–7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare meatloaf mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, and seasonings. Mix until just combined.
- Assemble meatloaf:
- Press half the meat mixture into the loaf pan.
- Layer sautéed veggies evenly on top.
- Lay provolone slices over the veggies.
- Cover with remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal.
- Bake:
- Bake 55–65 minutes or until internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Add extra cheese (optional):
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, add additional cheese on top.
- Rest & serve:
- Let meatloaf rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a side salad.
Tips & Variations:
- Cheesy pull-apart version: Bake in a 9×13 pan and slice into squares.
- Spicy twist: Add a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper to the meat mixture.
- Quick skillet version: Form individual mini meatloaves in a skillet and cook on the stovetop for smaller portions.
This meatloaf is melty, savory, and has all the Philly cheesesteak vibes without the sandwich hassle 😏.
If you want, I can also give a mini muffin tin version—perfect for parties or kid-friendly servings.
Do you want me to do that?
