Cheddar Jalapeno Meatloaf

Meatloaf takes a spicy jalapeno popper turn in this awesome recipe!

I make very comfort food-like recipes on the weekend - typically it could be pork roast, pot roast, some type of slow cooked chicken or ham dish, or meatloaf. I love trying new recipes, as per my personality trait of recipe hoarding might make apparent, so I was pleased to find this recipe for Cheddar Jalapeno Meatloaf. Anything with jalapeno and cheddar cheese is something I want to make because of how much I love jalapeno poppers (with cheddar not cream cheese). This particular recipe, like most meatloaf recipes, has a topping on it. However, I don't make mine with toppings because Nick doesn't like meatloaf toppings and it's hard to keep it from touching his pieces even if I leave it off his part.


What you need:

For the meatloaf:

  • 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
For the topping (optional):
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. yellow mustard
Directions:
  1. Mix together all the meatloaf ingredients until just combined - do not overmix.
  2. Place into a loaf pan and set aside.
  3. If making the topping, combine topping ingredients and spread on top of meatloaf.
  4. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Slice and serve.

One of the best meatloaf recipes, in my opinion, is one I made from a combination of a few others and love and that is Pizza Meatloaf! Yes, pizza meatloaf! Shelby of Grumpy's Honeybunch also has an incredible looking meatloaf...Dill Pickle Meatloaf. You can't go wrong with dill pickles.
