Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 1 lb (454 g) ground pork
Cheese and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
- Thoroughly combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.
- Gently incorporate diced onions, sliced bell peppers, and shredded provolone cheese into the meat mixture, maintaining a delicate fold to preserve texture.
- Mold the seasoned meat blend into a cohesive loaf shape, carefully positioning it in a lightly greased baking receptacle.
- Optionally drape a thin layer of ketchup across the meatloaf’s surface for an enhanced flavor profile and glossy finish.
- Position the prepared meatloaf in a preheated oven at 375F (190C), allowing it to roast for approximately 55 minutes.
- Verify doneness by confirming the internal temperature has reached 160F (71C) using a meat thermometer inserted into the center.
- Remove from oven and permit the meatloaf to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes, enabling juices to redistribute and ensuring a succulent final texture.
- Slice and serve the meatloaf, revealing the melted provolone and vibrant vegetable inclusions within the hearty protein centerpiece.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by sautéing onions and peppers before mixing into the meat to deepen their taste profile and reduce excess moisture.
- Swap ground pork with ground turkey for a leaner version that’s still packed with classic Philly cheesesteak flavors.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe completely gluten-free without compromising texture or taste.
- For a lower-sodium option, replace regular salt with herbs like thyme or rosemary and use low-sodium Worcestershire sauce.
