Ingredients
Ground Beef
Ground beef is the star ingredient in our Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf. You’ll need 1 pound of 80/20 ground beef for optimal flavor and moisture. The fat content helps keep the meatloaf juicy as it cooks.
Bell Peppers
You will need 1 cup of finely chopped bell peppers (red and green). These add sweetness and color to your meatloaf while enhancing its overall flavor profile.
Onion
Use 1 medium onion, finely chopped. The onion brings a savory depth that complements the other ingredients perfectly. Sautéing it beforehand softens its bite and enhances its sweetness.
Bread Crumbs
Add 1 cup of plain bread crumbs to bind the meat mixture together. Bread crumbs help absorb moisture and give structure to your meatloaf without making it dry.
Eggs
Two large eggs act as a binder in this recipe. They help hold all the ingredients together while adding richness to the mixture.
Cheese
Use 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese or any cheese you prefer. This adds creaminess and that iconic cheesesteak flavor we all crave.
Worcestershire Sauce
A tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce adds depth and umami flavor to your meatloaf. It’s a crucial ingredient that ties everything together beautifully.
Garlic Powder
One teaspoon of garlic powder enhances the overall taste without overpowering other flavors. It gives a warm undertone that complements the beef well.
Salt and Pepper
Season your mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. These basic seasonings are essential to bring out all the flavors in your meatloaf.
