Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers until soft, about 5–7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed veggies, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cheese. Mix until just combined.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
- Pour the beef broth over the meatloaf to keep it moist during cooking.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes or on a toasted hoagie roll.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the ingredients to prevent a dense meatloaf. Ensure to let it rest after baking for better flavor and juiciness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
