Ingredients 🛒
For the Meatloaf:
1 lb ground beef 🥩
1 cup bread crumbs 🍞
1 egg 🥚
½ cup milk 🥛
½ cup diced onion 🧅
½ cup diced green pepper 🫑
1 cup sliced mushrooms 🍄
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 🥄
1 teaspoon garlic powder 🌿
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂

Instructions 📋
Step 1: Preheat the Oven 🔥
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .
Step 2: Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture 🥩
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef , bread crumbs , egg , milk , diced onion , diced green pepper , sliced mushrooms , Worcestershire sauce , garlic powder , salt , and pepper . Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Meatloaf 🍴
Press half of the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a loaf pan , forming a flat layer.
Lay the provolone cheese slices over the meat, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the cheese from oozing out during baking.
Cover the cheese with the remaining meat mixture , pressing the edges to seal and completely enclose the cheese layer.
Step 4: Make the Glaze 🍯
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth , ketchup , brown sugar , and mustard until smooth.
Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Step 5: Bake Until Cooked Through 🍳
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour , or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) .
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy 🍴
Slice the meatloaf and serve warm.
Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
