Recipe: Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 slices provolone cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and top with the slices of provolone cheese. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Pair with mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
