Ingredients
Scale
Meat Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 0.5 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 0.25 lb bacon, chopped
Bread and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
Flavor and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a large loaf pan by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped bacon, and thinly sliced ribeye steak, creating a rich, flavorful meat blend.
- Sauté diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced garlic in a skillet until they become soft and translucent, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Mix the sautéed vegetables into the meat mixture, adding breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Gently fold the ingredients together, being careful not to overmix, which can make the meatloaf tough.
- Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly and creating a smooth surface.
- Spread ketchup across the top of the meatloaf, providing a tangy glaze.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese over the ketchup layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice and serve hot, enjoying the Philly Cheesesteak-inspired flavors in every bite.
Notes
- Choose high-quality ground beef with a bit more fat content to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful, preventing dryness during baking.
- Customize the cheese by swapping provolone with white American or sharp cheddar for different flavor profiles while maintaining the classic Philly cheesesteak essence.
- Use finely ground breadcrumbs to help bind the meat mixture without creating a dense texture, ensuring a tender and juicy meatloaf.
- Consider adding a splash of beef broth instead of milk for a richer, more intense meaty flavor that complements the Philly cheesesteak theme.
