Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Jalapeño Popper Meatloaf
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped jalapeños, softened cream cheese, smoked paprika, beaten egg, and crumbled bacon. Mix thoroughly.
- Shape the meat mixture into a loaf about 1.5 inches thick and place it in the greased baking dish.
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Once done, let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice into portions and serve warm. Consider adding ranch dressing for dipping.
