Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf

This bacon wrapped meatloaf is the king of all meatloaves. With a crispy bacon weave wrapped outside and cheese stuffed inside, this recipe can be used for regular family dinners or special occasions such as a party.

We use quite a good amount of jalapeno in this recipe to make it spicy. You can tell that we love spicy food! However, you can adjust the amount of jalapeno as you like, or simply don’t use it at all if you don’t like spicy food.

The bacon weave seems a little bit complicated to do but it is actually not that hard. It just requires a little patience. We’ll show you how to make this weave first.

You can top with a little bit of fresh cheese, chopped avocado, and coriander for garnishing.

• 1/2 cup Jalapeno chopped, up to your liking
• 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Start by making the bacon weave following the instructions above.

3. Place the bacon weave on foil paper to make it easier to roll the meatloaf later. Flatten the seasoned meat onto the weaved bacon, evenly spread it with your hands or a spatula
4. On one edge of the meat bed, arrange the chopped jalapeno, cream cheese, and sour cream. Roll the meat carefully to avoid spilling the fillings.
5. Place the rolled meatloaf onto a baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes or more if the loaf is thicker. Check often to make sure it's cooked.
6. Carefully slice the lukewarm loaf into pieces. Garnish with coriander, chopped avocado, and fresh cheese. Serve and enjoy!
