Meatloaf is one of my favourite comfort foods and it’s fun to change up the flavours like in this one with a Philly cheesesteak theme! Philly cheesesteaks are sandwiches with sauteed beef and onions with either melted provolone cheese or cheese whiz and some common extras are sauteed green bell peppers and/or mushrooms. Meatloaf generally starts out with your ground meat, beef in this case, along with eggs and breadcrumbs which, help hold everything together, along with seasonings. The seasonings for this meatloaf begins with sauteed onions, green bell peppers and mushrooms, which are all finely diced so that they mix into the ground beef easily. Next up is the cheese whiz, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup which get mixed in throughout the meatloaf. The final component is the provolone cheese which I like to include in two different ways! The first way is as a solid chunk of cheese that is placed in the center of the meatloaf where it melts in the oven, turning liquid, just waiting to pour out when the loaf is sliced open! The second is that slices are placed on top after the meatloaf has cooked and broiled until it has melted all over the top of the meatloaf! Yum!

This is a great recipe. I do one very close to that. Without the cheese. That is the conundrum. Do you want cheese in your meatloaf? I also bake my flat on a sheet pan, but i use some parchment paper so I don’t have too much of a mess to clean up.
Thank you so much for all your ~Perfectly Splendid~ recipes. My Grandchildren always ask me to ‘Make again, Grandma’ Filled meatloaves are fun to create. I slightly under bake, then encase in puff pastry for a ‘Beef Wellington’ Works perfectly, same for individual ones, too.
My grandmother used to stuff her meatloaf with a traditional breadcrumb stuffing, just like a Thanksgiving turkey. So good. Your recipes are so great. Can’t wait to make this.
Sound interesting something totally different gotta try it.
