Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf with green bell peppers, onions and mushrooms topped and stuffed with Provolone Cheese.Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf is officially our new favorite meatloaf in our house. We’ve been on an everything Philly Cheesesteak kick through the summer and this meatloaf is just replacing our previous favorites.
We have a go-to meatloaf recipe we’ve used for years and a bacon cheeseburger meatloaf (this is coming in the fall). This recipe is 100% better than that one and I LOVE that one. So take that recommendation as seriously as you want. 😉
Tools Used in the making of these Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf:
Cast Iron Skillet: This is my most used pan in my kitchen, heavy, keeps heat well and gives the BEST sear ever.
Loaf Pan: Even cooking, looks beautiful and works well to avoid sticking, this pan is inexpensive and lasts for years.
Chef’s Knife: This knife is one of the three most used tools in my kitchen (tongs and my pig tail flipper are the other two). I love it, I’ve had it for almost 10 years and it is as sharp today as the day I got it. (left column, second from the top). Mind you I love it this much even though I have a ridiculously expense knife set as well.
Worcestershire Sauce: Do not leave this out or sub it for anything else, this is a main flavor component and this brand is my absolute go-to.

HOW TO MAKE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK MEATLOAF:
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.
Step 2: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions and peppers until soft and translucent.
Step 3: Transfer the onion and pepper mixture to a large bowl and pour in the milk and add in the meat. Blend with your hands until incorporated.
Step 4: Use a cooking spray or butter to grease a loaf pan. Add half of the mixture and top with 4 slices of cheese. Add the remaining meat mixture on top.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or so.
Step 6: Take the meatloaf out of the oven and add on top the remaining cheese and parsley. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted completely.
Step 7: Allow cooling on a wire rack at room temperature.
