Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 lbs lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 8 ounces Provolone cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. Sauté the veggies: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stir, and let brown for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Prepare the meat mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and eggs until smooth. Add the ground beef, sautéed vegetables, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
  4. Layer the meatloaf: Press half of the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Lay half of the Provolone cheese slices in a single layer down the center of the meatloaf, about 2 inches wide. Top with the remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  5. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the oven and 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, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Use lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15): This ensures the meatloaf stays moist without being too greasy.
  2. Let the sautéed veggies cool: This prevents the eggs from cooking prematurely when mixed into the meat.
  3. Don’t overmix the meat: Mix just until combined to keep the meatloaf tender.
  4. Rest before slicing: Letting the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes ensures it holds together when sliced.
  5. Customize it: Add a dash of hot sauce or swap Provolone for Cheez Whiz for an authentic Philly twist!
