Meatloaf Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1 piece jalapeño, diced
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose seasoning Tony's brand
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese

Bourbon Glaze

  • 1 cup apricot jam
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • ½ cup bourbon
  • ½ cup bbq sauce
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

Prepare Meatloaf

  • Start with your ground beef. Add the bread crumbs, eggs, bell pepper, jalapeno, onions, onion powder, garlic powder, all purpose seasoning, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix them together.

Make Bourbon Sauce

  • In a pot, add the apricot jam, dark brown sugar, sriracha, bourbon, barbecue sauce, and ¼ cup of water. Mix and cook it down until you reach a smooth consistency and to a boil.

Build and Bake Meatloaf

  • Start building half of your meatloaf on a tray lined with foil. Once assembled, fill it with cheese and add the rest of the meatloaf on top. Start building your 'little mountain' and shape it down.
  • Spread a layer of the bourbon glaze over the meatloaf and bake on 350F for about 60 minutes uncovered, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 155F. I baste another layer of sauce on the meat halfway through the cooking.
  • If the meatloaf has not reached its temperature after 60 minutes, then place a single layer of foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes covered.
  • Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before cutting and enjoy!
