Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 8 ounces Provolone cheese slices

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a large (9×5) loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, blend the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and eggs until smooth. Add the ground beef, sautéed vegetables, and panko breadcrumbs, and mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
  • Press half of the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Lay half of the provolone cheese slices in a single layer through the center of the meatloaf, about 2 inches wide. Top with the remaining meat mixture.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the remaining provolone cheese slices, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Be gentle. Mix the meatloaf ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the loaf dense and tough.
