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