Ingredients

Stuffing:

2 large or 5 small corn muffins (2 to 3 cups), crumbled by hand
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon seeded and minced jalapeno
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten

Meatloaf:

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons
1 cup diced red onion
1 tablespoon seeded and minced jalapeno
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs
6 ounces sliced Cheddar

Directions

For the stuffing: Preheat oven to 275 to 300 degrees F.

Spread the cornbread crumbs on a sheet pan and let toast for about 20 minutes, or until lightly toasted and dry. Turn oven up to 350 degrees F.

In a skillet brown the bacon until crispy. Drain. To the same skillet add the red pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and cook until soft.

In a bowl, combine the cornbread crumbs, bacon, and vegetable mixture. Add parsley and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

For the meatloaf: In medium skillet over medium heat add oil, red onions, jalapeno and garlic. Cook until caramelized, remove from heat and let cool.

In a bowl combine the meat, salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, mustard, ketchup Worcestershire, and eggs and thoroughly mix.

Divide the meat mixture in half. Shape 1 half into a rectangle, creating a canoe, and then loosely fill with stuffing. Do not pack it in. Use the other half of the meat to fully enclose the stuffing. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Layer the cheese slices on top and bake for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve.

OVER SEASONED, OVER COOKED
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Many steps, a lot of ingredients, and bad advice. The stuffing was too dry, I shortened the cooking time by 1/2 hour and... it was still too overcooked and fell apart at slicing. And the salt was too strong with the bacon.Read more

Even though i followed your directions to the T. But I just want to say thankyou. I am a good(/great) cook myself but I must give respect were respect it due! but please...............I'm planning on claiming up that recipe for myself so please.........................

Great Twist on Comfort Food!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was having some friends over for dinner who tend to eat out alot, so I wanted to make them some comfort food. Instead of... plain old meatloaf, I tried this. It was a hit. Everyone loved the stuffing. Everyone had at least 2 pices each and the guys had 3! I was hesitant about the jalepenos making the dish too spicy. I was wrong, it was just right. I also used all hamburger when I made it. I found it to still be moist even without the ground pork. The meatloaf also came out looking very fancy especially when sliced. I was complimented all night on how great it tasted and looked. Thanks Guy I will definitely be making this again.Read more
