Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 small yellow onion, diced

• 1 small green bell pepper, diced

• 8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

• ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• 2 pounds lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)

• 2 tablespoons ketchup

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

• 8 ounces provolone cheese slices

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a large loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 1–2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1–2 minutes before stirring again. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.

3. Prepare Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, and the cooled vegetable mixture. Mix until well combined.

4. Assemble Meatloaf: Press half of the meat mixture into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Lay half of the provolone cheese slices over the meat, leaving a border around the edges. Cover with the remaining meat mixture, pressing to seal the edges.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the remaining cheese slices, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through.

6. Rest and Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
