PEPPERJACK PORK MEATLOAF
Ground pork is a nice alternative to use for a meatloaf. For this recipe, I just used a pound. Since it shrinks, 1 lb is a good size to make a meatloaf for about 2-3 people.

Steps:
- Wash and clean carrot. Use vegetable peeler to slice it into thin slices.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients (except cheese) into ground pork. Let marinate in fridge overnight, or marinate in fridge for at least 2-3 hours, and 1 hour at room temp.
- Preheat oven to 375*. Place meat into small loaf pan and shape into loaf size. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove foil and pour out most of the fatty liquid that has gathered in the pan. Cover meatloaf with pepperjack slices and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melty, bubbly and browning just a bit.
- Remove from oven, cover with foil and let rest for about 20-30 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the meatloaf. This ensures that the meatloaf cooks evenly throughout.
- Use a quality ground beef: The quality of the ground beef you use will greatly impact the flavor of your meatloaf. Choose a high-quality, lean ground beef for the best results.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing the meatloaf mixture can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The size of the loaf pan you use will affect the cooking time of the meatloaf. Choose a loaf pan that is just large enough to accommodate the meatloaf mixture.
- Bake the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F: To ensure that the meatloaf is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: After baking, let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Pepperjack meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy meatloaf that the whole family will enjoy.
