Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (453 g) ground beef
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup provolone cheese, sliced
- 1 egg
Vegetables:
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly blend ground beef with bread crumbs, egg, and milk in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.
- Incorporate diced onion, green pepper, and chopped mushrooms into the meat mixture, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Carefully layer half the meat mixture into a loaf pan, creating an even base with slightly raised edges.
- Delicately arrange provolone cheese slices across the meat layer, leaving a narrow perimeter to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Gently cover the cheese with remaining meat mixture, meticulously sealing the edges to create a compact loaf.
- Craft a savory glaze by whisking beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard until smooth and well-integrated.
- Generously drizzle the prepared sauce over the assembled meatloaf, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slide the loaf pan into a preheated 350°F oven, allowing it to roast for approximately 60 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
- Remove from oven and permit the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute and enhance overall flavor.
- Slice and serve the meatloaf, revealing the melted cheese center and rich, aromatic layers.
Notes
- Let the ground beef come to room temperature before mixing to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- Dice vegetables finely to distribute flavor evenly and prevent large chunks disrupting the meatloaf’s structure.
- Use lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10) to prevent excessive grease while maintaining moisture in the meatloaf.
- For a low-carb version, replace bread crumbs with almond flour or crushed pork rinds to reduce carbohydrate content.
