Philly Cheese steak Meatloaf

Philly cheese steak Meatloaf has officially become our new favorite meatloaf in our household. We’ve been on a Philly Cheese steak kick all summer, and this meatloaf is now replacing our previous favorites.

What is the great city of Philadelphia renowned for? The Rocky movies, the Liberty Bell, and, of course, the mouthwatering Philly Cheese steak. A traditional cheese steak is a sandwich made from thinly sliced beef steak, onions, and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. It was originally crafted by Italian immigrants in the region, who served chopped steak on an Italian-style roll around a century ago, and it quickly gained popularity. This heartwarming and delectable fast food became an instant American classic, and you can find Philly cheese steaks just about anywhere these days, despite the name.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of oil
• 1 diced onion
• 1 diced green bell pepper
• 8 ounces of diced mushrooms
• 2 cloves of chopped garlic
• 2 pounds of ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/2 cup of cheese whiz (optional)
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons of ketchup
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of pinko breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if desired)
• 4 ounces of provolone (optional)
• 8 slices of provolone

How to Prepare Philly Cheese steak Meatloaf:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat, add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and cook until tender, about 7–10 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute, before removing from heat.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, cheese whiz, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, eggs, breadcrumbs, and the cooked mixture of onions, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic.
4. Place half of the mixture down, place the solid piece of provolone in the middle, top with the remaining mixture, seal the edges well, shape the loaf as desired, and place it on a baking sheet.
5. Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven until cooked through, about 50–60 minutes.
6. Spread the sliced provolone over the top of the loaf, return it to the oven, and broil until the cheese has melted, about 2–4 minutes.
