Ingredients<\/u>:<\/b>
\n1 1\/2 pounds lean ground beef
\n1 large onion, chopped
\n1 green bell pepper, chopped small
\n1\/2 cup of whole milk
\n1\/2 cup mushrooms chopped (optional) family loves them I hate them
\n1 tablespoon olive oil
\n1 cup bread crumbs (regular, italian style or panko)
\n1 large egg
\n1\/2 tsp salt & 1 tsp pepper
\n1 tsp garlic powder
\n1 tsp onion powder
\n1\/2 tsp Adobo seasoning
\n3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
\n8 slices of mozzarella OR provolone cheese (i used mozz) (Thick CUT)<\/p>\n
Directions<\/u>:<\/b>
\nPreheat the oven to 350F.
\nIn a medium skillet saut\u00e9 the diced onion & peppers in oil until tender & soft.
\nOnce peppers and onions are cooked, you then mix them in with the rest of the ingredients, including meat & milk – (except sliced cheese) in a large mixing bowl. Work mixture with your hands until fully incorporated.
\nLightly spray a loaf pan with pam spray or butter or even olive oil, then take exactly HALF of the mixture & place into the prepared loaf pan
\nTop it with 4 slices of your choice of cheese
\nPlace the remaining meat mixture on top of the cheese BUT reserving the last 4 slices, set those aside
\nBake for 30 minutes
\nRemove from the oven, top with the last 4 slices, sprinkle with parsley then put back into the oven for a remaining 10-15 minutes OR until the cheese is melted to your liking (i like mine a bit crispy)
\nLet stand a few minutes before removing from the pan, then serve.<\/p>\n
