Perfect for weeknight dinners or family gatherings, this easy-to-make meatloaf is packed with cheesy, savory goodness and sure to become a household favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Meatloaf:
  • 2 lbs ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • For Topping:
  • 3 additional slices of provolone cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
  5. Mix the Meatloaf:
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray).
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.
  8. Assemble the Meatloaf:
  9. Place half of the meatloaf mixture onto the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan and flatten slightly to create a base.
  10. Layer 3 slices of provolone cheese on top, followed by the cooled onion and pepper mixture.
  11. Add another 3 slices of provolone cheese on top of the veggies.
  12. Place the remaining meatloaf mixture over the top, shaping it into a loaf and sealing the edges to keep the filling inside.
  13. Bake:
  14. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  15. About 5 minutes before it’s done, place the remaining slices of provolone on top of the meatloaf and let them melt.
  16. Rest and Serve:
  17. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure it stays juicy.
  18. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

 

  • Make It Ahead: Assemble the meatloaf up to one day in advance, then bake when ready to serve.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To freeze, wrap the cooked meatloaf tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Customizations: Add mushrooms, swap provolone for mozzarella or cheddar, or use ground turkey for a leaner version.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread for a full meal.
