Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3-4 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 12 slices bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs of ground beef, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup diced onion, diced jalapenos, minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the bacon to crisp up on all sides.
- Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the wire rack.
- Brush the ketchup mixture over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
- Lay the bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your delicious and spicy bacon-wrapped jalapeno meatloaf!
