Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces pepper jack cheese, cut into 4 small cubes
  • 8 slices thin-cut bacon
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 4-cup section of a standard muffin tin.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Press 4 portions into the muffin cups, making a shallow well in the center of each.
  • Place one cube of pepper jack in each well. Cover with the remaining meat portions and pinch the edges together to seal the cheese inside.
  • Wrap two slices of bacon around each muffin, tucking the ends underneath. Brush the tops with barbecue sauce.
  • Bake until the bacon is browned and the meatloaves reach 160°F in the center, about 25 to 30 minutes. Rest in the tin for 5 minutes before removing and serving.

Use thin-cut bacon so it cooks through as the meatloaves bake, and seal the meat firmly around each cheese cube to help prevent leaks. For a less spicy center, choose mild pepper jack, or serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
