Number Of Ingredients 13

1.5 lbs ground beef (or ground pork (or half of each for extra flavor))
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp fresh minced garlic
1/2 cup crushed pork rinds (ground flaxseed, or almond flour)
2 eggs
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp mustard powder
1 tsp liquid aminos (or soy sauce if you prefer)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup cooked bacon
2 jalapeno peppers (diced)
5 tbsp AlternaSweets Keto Ketchup

Steps:

  • Add the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, pork rinds, eggs, Italian seasonings, pepper, mustard powder and liquid aminos in a large bowl and mix it until it's fully combined. Most of the time I use my (cleahands instead of a spoon to mix it all together just like Grandma used to do too.
  • Spray non stick cooking spray into the bread pan and pour half the meat mixture into the pan.
  • Spread the softened cream cheese on top of the bottom meatloaf layer.
  • Add the jalapenos and bacon bits.
  • Top the meatloaf with the second half of the meat mixture.
  • Add extra AlternaSweets Ketchup to the top of the meatloaf, then cover it with foil before you bake it.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about an hour.
  • TIP: You can add it to one large bread pan or two small bread pans. If you use two small bread pans this meatloaf will cook faster! I've done this when my family hungry and wants dinner faster.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground beef
⅔ cup bread crumbs
2 eggs, whisked
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
aluminum foil
3 tablespoons barbeque sauce, or as needed
2 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined. Press about 3/4 of the meat mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a loaf pan, leaving a well in the middle.
  • Mix together cream cheese, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a separate bowl until combined. Press cream cheese mixture into the well of the meatloaf. Cover with remaining meat mixture, pressing along the edges to seal. Cover with aluminum foil.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 stuffed mushrooms

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices thick-cut bacon
12 large white mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded and diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 heaping tablespoon panko
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bacon in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes; this will help prevent sticking.
  • Finely dice the bacon. Heat a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat, as needed, until the fat begins to render, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside. Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
  • Once the bacon fat has started to render, add the chopped mushroom stems, onions and jalapeños. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl to cool to room temperature.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan with a rubber spatula or fork until evenly combined.
  • Divide the bacon-jalapeño mixture between the mushroom caps with a spoon or small scoop. Sprinkle the tops of the mushrooms with the panko. Bake until the mushrooms are soft and liquid starts to form on the baking sheet, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with the parsley.

JALAPENO POPPER MEATLOAF



Jalapeno Popper Meatloaf image

This was an adaptation that I made from "Recipe #29251" because it looked SO good, but grilling was out of the question today. It also sounded like (and ended up being) a great alternative to traditional mexican recipes! I included the healtheir versions of most ingerdients, but of course, you can be as indulgent as you like! It may be important for you to know that the globby deleciousness of the cream cheese goes away when it's cooked, but the tasty flavor of the appetizer stays.

Loaded Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers image

Not your average stuffed jalapeno popper. Couldn't find a recipe that I liked so made these loaded with everything I like! Hope you like them just as much as I do. Serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Provided by FunwithFood

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Vegetable     Jalapeno Popper Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 jalapeno peppers, seeded
8 ounces turkey breakfast sausage (such as Bob Evans®), casings removed
2 cups finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch-flavored seasoning mix
1 teaspoon minced garlic, or more to taste
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and set aside. Slice a thin piece from the bottom of each pepper to stop peppers from rolling onto their sides when baking.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Drop each pepper carefully into the water and boil 2 minutes. Remove peppers from water and place in the bowl of ice water.
  • Cook turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, ranch-flavored seasoning, and garlic.
  • Remove peppers from water and drain. Fill each pepper with sausage mixture, forming a mound. Place filled peppers on a baking sheet; place in the freezer until just frozen, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix bread crumbs with butter. Press into the top of the sausage filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown and cheese starts to bubble, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. For the best results, use a lean ground beef, such as 80/20 or 90/10. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  • Use fresh jalapeños. Fresh jalapeños will give the meatloaf the best flavor. If you can't find fresh jalapeños, you can use canned jalapeños, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the meatloaf pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the meatloaf will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave at least 1 inch of space around the meatloaf.
  • Bake the meatloaf at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking a meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly without drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Once the meatloaf is done baking, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno popper stuffed meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your meatloaf turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook ground beef, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
