For a less spicy meatloaf, consider using a milder chili pepper like a poblano or serrano instead of the habanero. To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the pan, lightly grease the loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Serve this meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground sirloin, diced tomato, diced mushrooms, diced green bell pepper, diced red bell pepper, diced orange bell pepper, minced garlic, sliced green onions, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, beaten egg, chopped cilantro, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix with your hands until just combined – avoid overmixing. (10 minutes)
03
StepShape the mixture into a loaf approximately the size of your loaf pan. Create a channel down the center of the loaf. (5 minutes)
04
StepCarefully fill the channel with the softened goat cheese and diced habanero pepper, ensuring an even distribution. Gently roll the meatloaf over to enclose the filling, sealing the edges. (5 minutes)
05
StepPlace the loaf into a loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs evenly over the top. Arrange the Cheddar cheese slices around the edges of the pan and top of the loaf. Garnish the top of the loaf with jalapeno pepper slices. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the meatloaf is cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), approximately 1 hour. (60 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the oven and let rest for 7-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. (10 minutes)
