Philly Cheese Meatloaf

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 lb. ground meat
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• Several dashes salt and pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 6 slices provolone cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a skillet, sauté the onion and pepper in the oil until tender. Combine these veggies with the remaining ingredients except the cheese in a bowl. Place half of this mixture into a greased loaf pan and top with 3 of the slices of provolone cheese. Repeat so you have two meat-cheese layers.

Bake for 45 minutes (the internal temperature of the meat should reach 165°F). Allow the meatloaf to sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Yield: 4-5 servings.
