Ingredients
  

For the meatloaf
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20) This blend gives the best flavor and moisture.
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 cup whole milk Can substitute with low-fat or unsweetened almond milk.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Regular, Italian-style, or panko.
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Adobo seasoning Can substitute with 0.5 tsp smoked paprika + 0.25 tsp cumin.
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 slices VERY thick-cut mozzarella cheese For best results; if unavailable, use 6 thinner slices but expect more melt-through.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chopped onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, milk, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Adobo seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and the sautéed vegetables.
  5. Mix with clean hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Press half of the mixture into the prepared loaf pan in an even layer.
  7. Layer 4 slices of very thick mozzarella evenly over the meat.
  8. Spread the remaining meat mixture over the cheese. Press gently to seal edges and smooth the top.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the loaf and place the remaining 4 slices of mozzarella on top.
  3. Return to the oven for 10–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are slightly crisp.
  4. Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
