Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 jalapeños, finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then divide into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf.
  • Wrap two slices of bacon around each mini meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath. Place the wrapped loaves on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the bacon is crisp.
  • While the meatloaves bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the rice, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and black beans. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 18 minutes until the rice is tender. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
  • Serve each mini meatloaf alongside a scoop of the rice and beans with lime wedges on the side.

Dice the jalapeños small so the heat spreads evenly through the meat without creating large hot spots. If the bacon starts to brown too quickly in the oven, loosely cover the pan with foil for the last 10 minutes. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to keep the bacon crisp.
