# How to Make It:
01 -
Set the oven to 190°C and allow it to fully preheat.
02 -
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced green bell pepper and onion for approximately 5 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
04 -
Firmly press half of the meat mixture into the base of a standard loaf pan.
05 -
Arrange four slices of provolone cheese evenly over the pressed meat, then spread the sautéed pepper and onion mixture over the cheese layer.
06 -
Distribute the remaining meat mixture on top, pressing gently around the edges to seal the filling.
07 -
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes. During the final 5 minutes of baking, top with the remaining four slices of provolone cheese and bake until the cheese is fully melted.
08 -
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a lighter alternative, substitute ground turkey for beef.
02 -
Provolone can be replaced with mozzarella or Swiss cheese as preferred.
03 -
Use almond flour or certified gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
04 -
Preparation can be completed ahead and refrigerated before baking for convenience.
