Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions and green bell peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well but do not overwork the meat.
• Fold in the sautéed onions and peppers.
• Press half of the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Layer the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the meat, then top with the remaining meat mixture.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
