Method

Meatloaf Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Add the Glaze

    Spread jalapeno ketchup on top of the meatloaf.

  5. 5

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle shredded Pepper Jack cheese on top and allow it to melt.

Mashed Potatoes Directions

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add peeled and cubed potatoes, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Gravy Directions

  1. 8

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 9

    Add Beef Broth

    Slowly whisk in beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 10

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, and stir well.

Vegetable Directions

  1. 11

    Prepare the Vegetables

    If using frozen green beans or corn, cook according to package directions. If using canned, simply heat until warm.

Dinner Roll Directions

  1. 12

    Serve the Rolls

    Warm the dinner rolls in the oven for a few minutes and serve alongside the meatloaf.
