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).

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.

SPICY, GARLICKY MEATLOAF



Spicy, Garlicky Meatloaf image

This meatloaf is as pungent and zesty as a meatball, but baked in that iconic, sliceable loaf form. A combination of chilies and sage add a spicy, earthy note, and a glaze of tomato paste and olive oil elevates a traditional dish away from its ketchup roots. The pine nuts are a visual cue: this is something a little different. And it tastes great the day after.
