LIL' CHEDDAR MEATLOAVES

We have given up all other meat loaf recipes for this one. I love the individual servings and every bite has the yummy catsup sauce where in "regular" meat loaf it's just a small strip on top! With the smaller loaves it also makes the cooking time a bit quicker. This recipe came from '99 TOH magazine but I added the rubbed sage for some extra flavor. Enjoy!

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes     Stuffed Meatloaf Recipes

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.

  • Use a Loaf Pan: A loaf pan will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
