You will need: 1 pound ground beef, 3/4 jar jalapeno jelly, 1 diced jalapeno(fresh), 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1/8 C milk, 1 jar chili sauce plus 1/4 C chili sauce(just buy two jars), 3/4 C breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 2 T ketchup,1/4 t cayenne pepper, 1/4 t onion powder, 1/4 t black pepper, 2 T butter. I think this is pretty spicy, but my husband thinks it could use two jalapenos instead of one. You be the judge!
Jalapeno Jelly is sometimes hard to find. It is in the jelly aisle and I have tried several brands...never had a bad one. If you can't find it, you can substitute mint jelly(but I would try harder to find it.)
1. Chop the veggies and be careful with the jalapeno! Put butter in a large pan and melt until it starts to brown a tiny bit.
2. Add the veggies to the pan and saute with spices. Let it saute for a few minutes until the veggies become tender.
3. Next add 1/4 C chili sauce.
4. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then add milk and stir.
5. Add breadcrumbs slowly and it will turn into a thick paste.
6. Let this cool...while it is cooling whisk the egg and add it to the ground beef in a large bowl. Time to take the rings off and start mixing with your hands.
7. Mix in the breadcrumb and jalapeno paste mixture. Once it is mixed well, put it into a greased loaf pan.
8. Let's make the sauce while the oven is preheating to 350. 9. In a small saucepan, mix jalapeno jelly, ketchup and chili sauce. Heat to a boil and simmer. Add some of the sauce to the top of the meatloaf.
10. Cook meatloaf uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I keep the sauce simmering and serve the rest with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Enjoy!
