Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 small green bell pepper diced
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 pounds lean ground beef 80/20 or 85/15
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 8 ounces Provolone Cheese Slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Let them brown for 1-2 minutes without stirring, then stir and let them brown for another 1-2 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool for five minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, and the cooled vegetable mixture.
- Spread half of the meat mixture into the loaf pan. Place half of the cheese slices in a 2-inch wide section in the middle of the pan (you can cut the slices into thirds for the right width).
- Cover the cheese with the remaining meat mixture, shaping it into a rounded loaf shape.
- Bake for 40 minutes, then remove from the oven. Top with the remaining cheese and return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Notes: For a twist, you can add a layer of cooked bacon between the cheese and meat mixture for extra flavor.
