Ingredients: The Secret to Philly Cheesesteak Magic
To make this Philly cheesesteak meatloaf, you'll need:
- 1.5 lbs ground beef - 1 cup breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup milk - 1 small onion, finely chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped - 2 large eggs - 1/4 cup ketchup - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce - 1 tbsp soy sauce - Salt and pepper, to taste - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese - 1 cup sliced mushrooms - 4 slices provolone cheese
Pro tip: Use high-quality ground beef for the best flavor.
The Magic of Meatloaf: Preparation
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, green pepper, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until just combined.
3. Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Shape one portion into a loaf about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. Top with shredded provolone and sliced mushrooms, then cover with the second portion of meat, sealing the edges to enclose the cheese and mushrooms.
4. Place the meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
5. Top with remaining provolone and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Slicing and Serving: The Grand Finale
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for cleaner slices.
Slice the meatloaf into 1-inch thick slices, and serve with your favorite sides – we recommend some crispy fries and a side of sautéed onions. Enjoy your Philly cheesesteak meatloaf!
Leftovers? Don't Mind If I Do!
This Philly cheesesteak meatloaf is just as delicious reheated. Simply slice the leftovers and pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months – just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
So, there you have it – a Philly cheesesteak meatloaf that's sure to become a family favorite. Happy cooking, and enjoy your mouthwatering masterpiece!
