Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped small
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup bread crumbs (regular, Italian-style, or panko)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

• 8 slices of mozzarella or provolone (thick cut preferred)

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf

1 Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350F. Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or a little olive oil. If using a Philly Cheesesteak meatloaf slow cooker, prepare your slow cooker by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with non-stick spray.

2 Sauté Veggies for Flavor

In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are soft and fragrant. This step enhances the Philly cheesesteak flavor and prevents the meatloaf from getting too watery.

3 Prepare the Meat Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, sautéed veggies, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, Adobo, salt, and pepper). Use your hands to mix everything together until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

4 Assemble the Meatloaf

• Take half of the meat mixture and press it into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
• Layer 4 slices of cheese over the meat, leaving a small gap at the edges to prevent leaking.
• Add the remaining meat mixture on top, pressing it down firmly to seal in the cheese.

5 Bake & Melt the Cheese

• Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and top with the remaining 4 slices of cheese.
• Sprinkle with parsley (optional) and return to the oven for 10-15 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

6 Let It Rest & Slice

Let the meatloaf sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it easier to cut without falling apart.

7 Serve & Enjoy

Slice and serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, or a fresh green salad. For an extra twist, place a slice on a toasted hoagie roll with extra cheese for an open-faced sandwich experience.
