Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf
A Delectable Fusion of Philly Cheesesteak and Meatloaf
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup diced onion
- ½ cup diced green pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup provolone cheese, sliced
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the meatloaf mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, milk, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Form the meatloaf base: Press half of the meat mixture into the bottom of a loaf pan, shaping it evenly.
- Add the cheese layer: Lay the provolone cheese slices over the meat, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
- Top with remaining meat: Cover the cheese with the remaining meat mixture, pressing the edges to seal in the cheese.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Pour this sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake: Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
- Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing, allowing the juices to redistribute.
