Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 0.5 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
Vegetables:
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 2 cups provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a large loaf pan by lightly greasing it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground beef with diced green bell peppers and onions, creating a robust flavor foundation for the meatloaf.
- Incorporate breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the meat mixture, thoroughly blending all ingredients until well integrated.
- Gently fold in thinly sliced ribeye steak, ensuring even distribution throughout the meat mixture for a classic Philly cheesesteak experience.
- Layer half of the prepared meat mixture into the greased loaf pan, creating a solid base for the cheese layer.
- Generously sprinkle a blend of provolone and mozzarella cheese over the first meat layer, covering the entire surface.
- Top the cheese layer with the remaining meat mixture, carefully sealing the cheese inside and creating a cohesive meatloaf structure.
- Finish by adding an additional layer of shredded cheese on top of the meatloaf for a golden, melted crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the top is beautifully golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute and ensure a moist, flavorful result.
Notes
- Customize cheese by using sharp provolone or white American cheese for deeper flavor profiles.
- Enhance meat texture by mixing ground chuck and ground sirloin for perfect moisture and lean balance.
- Prevent dry meatloaf by avoiding overmixing ingredients and using fresh, high-quality ground beef with moderate fat content.
- Make gluten-free by substituting breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed pork rinds without compromising structural integrity.
