Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 small yellow onion, diced
-
1 small green bell pepper, diced
-
8 ounces brown mushrooms, finely minced
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons ketchup
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
2 large eggs
-
2 lbs lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
-
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
-
8 ounces provolone cheese slices
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, and sautéed veggies. Mix gently until fully combined.
-
Divide the meat mixture in half. Shape the first half into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Layer half the provolone slices over the loaf, leaving a small border.
-
Cover with the remaining meat mixture and shape it to seal in the cheese.
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
-
In the last 5 minutes of baking, top with remaining provolone slices and let melt.
-
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
-
For a lower-fat option, use ground turkey and reduced-fat cheese.
-
Add red pepper flakes for a little kick.
-
Leftovers make fantastic sandwiches!
-
You can shape and prep the loaf ahead of time—just cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
