  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

  • Slice the meatloaf and top each serving with a spoonful of salsa.

Dice the jalapeños small so the heat spreads evenly without large spicy bites. If the salsa seems too wet, drain it briefly in a strainer before serving. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over medium heat to keep the cheese from drying out.
