Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- ½ cup (60 g) breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 tsp steak seasoning or paprika
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded provolone or cheddar
- ¾ cup (75 g) shredded cheddar + mozzarella mix
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggie Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced peppers and onions. Season with steak seasoning. Sauté until soft and slightly caramelized (5–6 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Meatloaf Base: In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion, and seasonings. Combine gently — do not overmix.
- Assemble: On parchment paper, flatten the meat mixture into a large rectangle (about 1 inch thick). Sprinkle mozzarella and provolone evenly. Layer on the sautéed peppers and onions. Carefully roll the meatloaf from one short end to the other, sealing the edges. Transfer to a baking dish seam-side down.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). In the last 10 minutes, top with the cheddar-mozzarella blend and bake until melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or a green salad.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the meatloaf mixture to keep it tender.
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables.
- Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps maintain its shape.
