Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 jalapeños, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, cut into 8 cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced jalapeños, breadcrumbs, egg, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly, place one cube of Pepper Jack cheese in the center, and shape the meat around the cheese to fully enclose it. Form into small oblong loaves.
  • Arrange the meatloaves on the prepared baking sheet with space between them.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees and the cheese inside is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro before serving.

Press the edges of each meatloaf firmly so the cheese stays inside during baking. These pair well with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables. Leftovers reheat nicely in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the centers creamy.
