Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 lbs Ground beef (lean works best!) 🥩
- 1 cup Green bell peppers, sliced into strips 🫑
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced 🍄
- 1 small Onion, finely diced 🧅
- 2 cups Provolone or Mozzarella cheese, shredded (for that epic cheese pull!) 🧀
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs 🍞
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten 🥚
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 🏺
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté your onions, green peppers, and mushrooms until they are just tender. Set them aside. 🧅🫑🍄
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the meat! 🥣🌪️💎
- Shape the Loaf: Form the meat mixture into a large loaf shape on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. 📐🍱✨
- The Filling Hack: For extra cheesiness, you can press a layer of cheese into the center of the loaf before sealing it up! 🧀🛡️🤝
- Bake to Perfection: Bake at 350°F for 45–55 minutes. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Cheesy Topping: About 10 minutes before the meatloaf is finished, top it with your sautéed mushrooms, green peppers, and a massive layer of shredded cheese. 🫑🍄🧀
- The Melt: Return to the oven until the cheese is bubbling and melting down the sides as seen in the photo! 🧀🌊🤤
- Serve: Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to keep all those juices inside. 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Gooey” Secret: As shown in the photo, don’t be shy with the cheese! Let it drape over the sides for those delicious crispy cheese bits at the bottom. 🧀🛡️💎
- The “Flavor” Hack: Brush the meatloaf with a little bit of steak sauce before adding the veggies and cheese for an extra savory punch! 🥩🎨🎯
