INGREDIENTS
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, 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.
