7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, add the remaining 4 slices of provolone on top and bake until melted.

How to Store Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf

To store leftovers, let the meatloaf cool completely. You can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil or place it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven or microwave until heated through.

Tips to Make Philly Cheesesteak Meatloaf

Variation

For a different spin, try using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner option. You could also switch out provolone for other cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella, based on your preference.
