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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven, brush with barbeque sauce, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons grated Cheddar. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place meatloaf under the broiler and cook until barbeque sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

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.

  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Season the meatloaf mixture liberally. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf mixture. To keep the meatloaf moist, add some liquid, such as tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or beef broth. You can also add some grated vegetables, such as carrots or zucchini.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and evenly cooked.
  • Baste the meatloaf with pan juices while it is baking. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices.
