- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 8 oz sliced provolone cheese

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, chopped mushrooms, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and shape the mixture into a loaf shape on top of the parchment paper.

This meatloaf is a twist on a classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, with the addition of ground beef and the comfort of a meatloaf. The onions, green bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic add a savory flavor to the meat mixture, while the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper help to enhance the taste. The provolone cheese and bacon on top give it that extra cheesesteak touch. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or a crisp salad.
