Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (for topping)
• Cooking spray or additional olive oil for greasing

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped green pepper and onion.
Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. Assemble the Meatloaf

Grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or olive oil.
Press half of the meat mixture into the pan evenly.
Layer the provolone cheese slices on top.
Add the remaining meat mixture and press it down gently to form a smooth, even loaf.

5. Bake the Meatloaf

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

6. Add the Cheese Topping

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle the shredded provolone on top.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.

7. Rest and Serve

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5–10 minutes after baking.
Slice and serve warm, preferably with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
