Cheddar Jalapeno Stuffed Meatloaf
A juicy meatloaf with a molten cheddar and jalapeno center. Comfort food with a kick.
Ingredients
Method
- Mix the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, Worcestershire, and salt until just combined.
- Press half the mixture into a loaf pan. Layer the cheddar and jalapenos down the center, leaving a border.
- Top with the remaining meat mixture and seal the edges to enclose the filling.
- Brush the top with ketchup and bake at 375F for 50 to 55 minutes, until cooked through.
- Rest 10 minutes before slicing so the cheese sets slightly.
Notes
Remove the jalapeno seeds for milder heat. Let the meatloaf rest so it slices cleanly.
