Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Provides foundational flavor and texture; lean ground turkey works for a lighter twist.
  • 1/2 lb Ground Pork Adds moisture and richness; swap for extra ground beef or turkey if desired.
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper Adds sweetness and vibrant color; red or yellow peppers can change the flavor profile.
  • 1 small Onion Contributes flavor and aroma; consider shallots for a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese Offers creaminess and iconic cheesesteak taste; mozzarella or white American can be substituted.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Binds the meat mixture for structure; crushed pork rinds or almond flour are great gluten-free substitutes.
  • 2 Eggs Acts as a binding agent; a flax egg can be used for vegan options.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances flavor; adjust according to your preference or opt for low-sodium options.
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper Provides seasoning; freshly ground black pepper delivers the best flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Adds depth to the flavor; soy sauce can work in a pinch.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Offers savory richness; fresh minced garlic is a flavorful alternative.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Intensifies onion flavor; can be omitted if you prefer using fresh onion.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil For sautéing veggies; any cooking oil or butter can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adds moisture; cream provides richness, while non-dairy milk keeps it lactose-free.
Optional Garnishes
  • Parsley Enhances both presentation and flavor.
  • Extra Cheese Slices Feel free to get creative with your choices!

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 small chopped onion and 1 diced green bell pepper, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of ground beef, 1/2 lb of ground pork, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk. Add 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper, 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1 tsp of onion powder. Mix until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the sautéed vegetables and 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese into the meat mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer the meat mixture onto a greased loaf pan or lined baking sheet. Shape it into a loaf that gently tapers at the ends.
  6. Place the loaf in your preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Consider adding extra cheese slices on top of the meatloaf during the last 5 minutes of baking for a delicious twist.
  8. Once baked, let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meatloaf.
  9. Slice your Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf and serve warm with your choice of sides.
