Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire-style sauce
- 1½ cups shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire-style sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
- Fold in shredded provolone cheese.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked through.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use lean ground beef (93% lean) and reduce cheese to taste.
- If you prefer a crustier edge, bake on a sheet tray without a loaf pan.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Leftovers reheat well; store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3–4 days.
