I don't know anyone that isn't crazy about meatloaf! I have several versions on my blog and this is a recipe that has all of the flavors of that iconic sandwich, the Philly Cheesesteak! Beef, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and melty provolone! I always bake my meatloaf in a freeform style rather than use loaf pans, I like the edges cooked and browned. This makes 2 loaves, I know you'll love this recipe! Perfect with mashed potatoes!

Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 8 oz of cremini or white mushrooms, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- pinch of salt & pepper for onion mixture
- 2 lbs of ground beef

- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tsp of kosher salt
- 1 tsp of black ,pepper
- 1⅓ cups of plain panko bread crumbs
- 6 - 8 oz of Provolone cheese, sliced
Instructions
- Start this masterpiece by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. If using 2 loaf pans, grease them with a little oil. Then in a large heavy skillet, cast iron if you have it, add in the oil, then saute the onion and green pepper for 3- 4 minutes, season with a little salt and pepper, then add in the mushrooms and the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, remove from the heat and let cool down.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, salt, pepper, panko breadcrumbs, and the cooled down onion mixture, mix with your hands and shape into 2 loaves, place in loaf pans or freeform style on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, remove from the oven, pop under the broiler for a few minutes if you'd like the top more browned. Now place the cheese slices on top, return to the oven just until the cheese starts to melt, let it cool down for 10 minutes before slicing, enjoy!
