Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A good temperature ensures that your meatloaf cooks evenly and remains moist.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, diced bell peppers, and shredded provolone cheese. The combination of ingredients will create a tremendous flavor profile.
-
Next, add the breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mixing all these ingredients creates a cohesive meatloaf mixture that holds together beautifully.
-
With your hands, mix until everything is well combined. It’s important not to over-mix; otherwise, the meatloaf can become dense.
-
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan. Shape it gently into a loaf form. The structure will help it cook evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. A meatloaf is ready when the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). This temperature ensures that the meat is safe to eat while retaining tenderness.
-
Once baked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring that your meatloaf is moist and flavorful.
