Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, diced bell peppers, diced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeno bacon, chili sauce, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

    While the meatloaf is baking, prepare mashed potatoes and gravy according to your favorite recipe.

  6. 6

    In a skillet, sauté green beans in a bit of olive oil or butter until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
